About Marissa

I am passionate about caregiving and the medical field. I love what I do. I have been in this field for over five years. I have experience in Dementia, Parkinson's Disease, incontinence care, Alzheimer's Disease, and various other conditions. Being in this field I know how vital it is to pay attention to detail, so any change of behavior or in overall health I notice immediately, and take proper procedures to ensure the best outcome for my client and my client's family. I know how important it is for the family to be involved and to have good communication intact. I also follow HIPPA laws and respect my client and the family's privacy. I have my CNA/CHHA license, and I am CPR certified. I also have reliable transportation, and do not mind taking my client to their appointments, and other errands. I chose this field because of my sister Amy. My sister had Down-Syndrome and required around the clock care. I helped care for my sister growing up, and in doing so, it inspired me to take this route in life. Its very rewarding for me to help others. I am a great listener, and I love to see a smile on my client's face.

As a care giver I find the most important attribute is compassion, the second being willing to apply love as if it were your own family member. I have been in the business of care giving for over a decade and I take pride in the service I provide. I am a people person and love to talk and am always interested in new business ventures.
