About Marcia

I've been working with seniors since my college days in the early nineties as an intern, volunteer and a business owner. I am compassionate, trustworthy, respectful and dependable. I enjoy work that involves helping people improve their lives. I particularly like working with seniors because they remind me of my grandmother who I was close to. Older people have amazing life experiences to share and they need assistance from someone they can trust. I am proud of my degree in Social Work and my family.

$20.00/hour · Cave Creek, AZ

I'm a very compassionate person, and I've enriched the lives of many, while in the comfort of their own surroundings. I've worked in the medical field as a respiratory technician for 15 years, and I've been a certified caregiver for 20 years and found that in home health care is where my passion lies. The majority of my clients are elderly, and to remove them from their surroundings can often cause them too much trauma. Being in their homes with them, and assisting them in day-to-day activities, is always more comfortable and provides a much happier environment. I know at the end of each day I have shown them compassion and made their lives more comfortable and peaceful. I am certified in CPR and FIRST AID, and I am a CERTIFIED CAREGIVER. I also have an extensive medical background as a RESPIRATORY TECHNICIAN ,and other aspects in the medical profession.
