About Mary

Hello! I was raised in a large family and as the oldest daughter I guess my life started out in a "caregiving" role. My grandmother referred to me as the 2nd mother to my younger siblings. I have always loved to help others. I started out my career working in the medical front office. I have worked everywhere from hospitals, to care centers, a nursing school and an urgent care center as the receptionist to the insurance and back office assistant for a general surgeon. I will be taking the State Board of Nursing Exam to become an LNA here in Arizona on Dec. 10th. I realize that it is my passion at this time to help others when they are unable to help themselves. It would be my privilege and very rewarding to me personally. Three years ago, my father passed away after a long illness with pulmonary fibrosis. At that time I left my job of almost 15 years with Banner Health Center in Peoria, AZ so that I could help him, along with my sister, who is an RN. It is from that experience with my father that I have realized this is what I am meant to do now. Thank you.

I have been providing in-home care for various families that contacted me through this online site. The first family requested my services after they found me and reviewed my background clearance report as well as my driving record clearance. The have used my services to pick up their two boys from school on a daily basis (2 different schools) Monday through Friday since early August. I also provide light housekeeping services for them and help with homework and piano practice for the 7 year old. The second family contacted me to occasionally watch their infant daughter on weekends for them. I have been doing these jobs while attending my CNA program which I completed on Nov. 8th. I will be taking my State Board of Nursing Exam on Dec. 10th.

Four years ago I retired from nursing. Recently, I moved to Phoenix Arizona to be near family. I have one married daughter in Phoenix where I presently reside, and another married daughter in Peoria. My daughter and son-in-law in Peoria have one daughter and are currently expecting their second child. Prior to moving here, my most recent pertinent work experience was as a homecare non-medical provider to an senior woman in her Kansas home. Though hired as "non-medical care provider" much of my assistance with this woman did revolve around her medical needs as she was an end-stage cancer patient, as well as diabetic. I helped manage her medication schedule, transportation and ensuring she went to medical/doctor appointments. I also monitored her daily health needs such as blood pressure, blood sugars, etc. I would like to care for you or a loved one in your home, and assist you with some of your care needs. I am willing to assist with light housekeeping, meal preparations, exercise/physical therapy programs, transportation and occasional errands or grocery shopping. I enjoy reading, baking, music, walking and spending time outdoors, as well as spending time with my family. I would be delighted to come work for you! --Freida McMahon
