About Marissa Lei

I am a very compassionate, loving person, to the point my peers claim that I am "nice" to a fault. I love making people happy, whether it is through cooking, conversation, or bringing flowers to brighten up a room. I was exceedingly fortunate that my grandparents raised me while my parents worked. They took time from their own schedules to ensure that I was clean, clothed, and fed each day. Though they may not be with me anymore, I want to pass that favor forward to other people with kindness and compassion. While I do not yet have formal elder care training, I received training relating to depression, eating disorders, and comforting families affected by cancer. I also have experience caring for elder family members, and am currently a live-in caretaker for my grandfather. I also follow instructions meticulously and dutifully fulfill all requested tasks, listening to a family's specific needs rather than following a pre-determined regimen. I understand that each family is different, and therefore requires flexible caregiving. I have a car, valid driver's license with a good driver's record, and I am able to drive anywhere within the city of San Diego.

I am a caregiver to an 89 year old man. While he still has an active lifestyle (i.e. drives, goes to yoga, hikes etc.), the majority of my responsibilities are cooking, cleaning, reminder to take medication, and most importantly to provide company.
