About Garnet

I am an alumna of Long Island University in New York. I majored in Nursing and Psychology. I have worked as a Counselor with The Center for Family Support and Birch Family Services serving individuals that has Mental Disabilities. I have worked with Healtronix as a Wound Care Consultant Therapist. I have over 25 years of experience caring for the sick and elderly in hospitals, nursing homes and residences. The care I took of my clients made their family lives much easier. It was always like the light at the end of the tunnel. It brought me solace and peace. Then I realized how much I didn't just like caring for the sick and elderly but the gratification I get from helping people in general. My passion to care led me to help people in all aspects of healthcare, especially the terminally ill. My services are not limited to the actual hands-on of caring. I help patients to promote Activities of Daily Living. To add, I enjoy providing Mental Support for my patients and their families. This passion to care stems from an accident my father met. At age 9 you are helpless, but you are able to decipher a few things and it was then I decided that I want to make a difference in this world helping people.

Take my work very seriously because I am helping to care for another human being, so I would treat clients as I would want to be treated. Very experienced for 13 years now. And love what I do. Love helping people, meeting new people. I sleep good at night knowing I did my job right and always to make sure I put a smile on my clients face. Best feeling ever.

Hello! My name is Simone Marshall and I've been working doing caregiver for about 20+ years as of right now. What really attracted to become a caregiver is having a passion for the elderly to how much wisdom they've gain over their past times. Whenever am with a patient, I enjoy spending time with making sure gratitude and happiness is maintained for them to keep on going. My Personality's is being motivated no matter what situation it is and staying organized for mating what is needed for the day. Lastly, the most memorable personal moment is working with an army veteran that served protecting our country in WW1 and WW2. He really and truly taught life lesson not knowing to now teaching my son the most needs to be successful. Thank you for reading about myself and I can't wait to work along with your parents waiting to journey on! (Vaccinated)
