About Marissa

I genuinely love working with elderly or young clients. I experienced working as a caregiver by taking care of my grandmother. I was 12 years old at the time. She died from diabetes and kidney failure. I also took care of my mother who passed away from cancer. I am currently helping my uncle take care of my grandfather who has had over 5 strokes and is in a wheelchair. My family is what attracts/motivates me to be a caregiver.
