About Marissa

I am a compassionate professional looking for caregiver position in a high quality healthcare company or private home in serving members of the community. My 10 year experience as a certified caregiver will allow me to perform this profession to the best of my abilities. One personal experience I hold dearly was when I took care of a patient who passed away peacefully at home by choice. During the last 3 months of her time, I made sure she was never alone and always had someone to be by her side. I became most of her support system as I became the listener and showed empathy for all her feelings and needs. I was there until her last moments and the family was very thankful for that. I made sure she was always comfortable and did not die alone. I believe that, with all my patients, I will be able to provide the support they need in good times and in bad. For the last 2 months, I took care of a mildly retarded patient who has history of schizophrenia and mild seizures. I was hired to monitor the patient closely because he is prone to falling as he has fallen twice a day. He has difficulty sleeping at night and I was with him all night to make sure he does not fall. In the two months that I took care of him, he only fell once and I am proud to say I helped prevent majority of his falls. He also did not trust anyone but me to give him a bath. The man described me as very patient.
