About Marilyn

I have always, my whole life, enjoyed being the the company of my Elders. I appreciate their Wisdom, and know that they are true teachers! In my high school years, I was heading to become a Special Education teacher. One of my first cousins was born with multiple special needs. I loved being with him, and learned so much from his innate wisdom. From that experience, I began volunteering with Special Needs children and young adults in my teen years. When I went to college, I got a little side-tracked, and did not actualize my dream. However, I soon became interested in Holistic Health, and for many years after my first year of college, I worked in Chiropractic Health Care. I was an office manager/ Chiropractic Assistant for 10 years. This launched me onto a path of healthy living, which includes eating healthy, staying active and fit, practicing Mindfulness, Yoga, Meditation and more. Many of my clients have been Dementia clients. Even my own beloved Mother, had Dementia. I was her one child that stepped in and took care of her from the time she was diagnosed, until her passing. I am so grateful for that experience with her. I am also a Chair Yoga teacher. Until the Pandemic, I was teaching, weekly at a local assisted living home. My passion is caregiving. Fully and completely. It is my Life Path. I enjoy being in Service to others. I love making a difference is other's lives by honoring everyone, no matter what differences, struggles or history they may have. I know for sure, that my little pebble of love in the ocean of one's life, has a rippling effect. I am so proud to have had the blessing to stay home for 20 years and raise my two children. They are now thriving, beautiful, compassionate, loving adults. This was a gift, which taught me unconditional selfless service. I am proud that my children and I have a very loving relationship, and so proud to see them out in the world making their own marks through love and compassion.

Self
Greetings! My passion is to be of service. I have worked in the health/caregiving arena my whole working life. I have many certifications which include Hospice Volunteer, State Licensed Esthetician, Certified Yoga Instructor, Birth Doula and Breathwork Facilitator. I have been working with Elders for 7 years now. Many families have brought me in to make sure that while their Elders are at home, that they are engaged, entertained, fed healthy food, and of course kept safe and healthy. All the families I have worked for, are now my extended family! I teach Chair Yoga, and also have 25 years of my own Yoga practice, and Meditation. This has helped form my calm, present, compassionate make up. I love to cook, and can cook anything you desire. Having been a Vegetarian for 31 years, my ability to cook healthy meals is a plus. If you are looking for someone who comes in and makes sure your loved one is cared for, and leaves your home humming in a peaceful, loving energy.... get in touch~ With endless Gratitude, Marilyn~

I am a happy, healthy, compassionate, loyal, patient, loving person who found my caregiver calling late in life. I am 66 years old and have been doing this for a little over 12 years and love what I do. I started when a couple different neighbors of mine were ill and didn't have any family to help them. I had my CPR CERT so I said why not and when they were doing better I decided to make this my work. (Experience through: IHSS, CARE.COM, CARELINX & CAMBRIAN HOME CARE) The first client I had was in very bad shape when I met him, diabetes, renal failure, heart failure, living on his own, not keeping up with his meds or taking his insulin properly. I called his Dr. got him on a med schedule and with the right food, TLC and exercise he did quite well. Since then I have had several different clients, one was on hospice and others I took to Dr appts., med Mgmt. , meal prep, errands and companionship. I'm looking now because one of my clients I had been caring for since 2015, unfortunately she passed away early November. I enjoy my work and I work very hard! Thank you so much, Cindy
