Lauren’s Bio
I am a 26 year old who is not fulfilled with my current job. I have a bachelor's degree in anthropology with a minor in history. No medical background, but I am CPR and first aid certified.
I have been assisting my parents with their health issues over the last several years. I helped make meals, go shopping, go to appointments, clean, etc. Unfortunately my father recently passed away, and my mother has hired someone to help drive her to and from work. I currently work full time as an administrative assistant, but through helping my own parents manage their lives in a time of need, I have realized I would much rather help people than sit at a desk all day behind a computer. I'm not really doing anyone any good there.
I would be happy to assist with any of the above mentioned, and then some. Day trips to parks, museums, shopping, doctors appointments, etc., or just in home companion care. I am willing to work with the young, elderly, or disabled. I have no preference as long as I know I am helping out someone in need.
