About Joyce

Born and raised in Kentucky on a small farm. Attended Ivy Tech in Indiana and received my Medical Assisting degree. Worked in that field for 15 years then was the owner operator of a family restaurant in Ventura County for 19 years. After selling my business in 2007 I decided to combine my passions, and started working as a personal chef / caregiver. I have been married for 35 years, have 3 successful daughters and 2 young grand daughters. Absolutely adore the elderly, love to cook and have a very good way of making people feel at ease, loved and safe.

    Worked 3 years in Monticeto for a paraplegic lady with many diet concerns. Was the house manager of a fairly large estate. Was responsible for medication management, grocery shopping and preparation of all food. Transfers from bed to chair, bathing and ROM excercises. I owned and operated a restaurant in Ventura for 19 years. After selling the business I decided I would combine my passions of cooking with caregiving. Currently work part time in Camarillo, 2 evenings a week.

    My name is Marissa Herrera. Some of my qualities are being patient, caring, loyal, and compassionate as a caregiver. I became a caregiver because I love to help out others and one day would hope to become a registered nurse! I enjoy building relationships and being able to be there for those in need. I've been a caregiver for 2 and a half years, I have experience with quadriplegics, wheel chair bound patients, or have cerebral palsy... I have experience in bathing, shaving, dressing, and using a Hoyer lift. I also do house cleaning and cooking... Don't mind pets :)

I am very friendly, cheerful , dependable personality, able to give detailed and accurate care to client.
