Location: Winterset

Laresa and her family are looking to welcome a mentee into her home and provide an environment that allows her mentee to grow and develop a sense of individuality.

Laresa works as a registered nurse. She grew up in a family where her parents opened their home to children in foster care and respite clients. She does not have a preference if her mentee is a male or female as long as they are nonsmoking.

Located in Winterset, the mentee will have access to all the essentials. Laresa and her family like to stay active and have a lot of hobbies they participate in like cooking, baking, baseball, softball, track, basketball, football, fishing and boating.

Throughout her career as a nurse, Laresa worked with individuals with mental and physical disabilities. Are you or someone you know interested in being a Host Homes mentee for Laresa? Reach out today! Call 515.238.3085 or email HostHome@LSIowa.org.

A message from Laresa to her mentee: “I have dealt with the frustrations of wanting a loved one to be treated as normal as possible. Hopefully opening up my home will provide an individual with stability and achieve a sense of normalcy in a home setting.”
