About Marie

I became a caregiver, because I have always has the heart to be there for those who are unable to help themselves. The most rewarding thing about being a caregiver is having the opportunity to provide what many patients long for; being in the company of someone pleasant. One of many personal achievements that I am proud of is the fact that I have use the experience gained in my current occupation and help others in the same manner in another country when I participate in missionary work out of the country 1-2xs per year. I am a very outgoing and dedicated individual who does nothing short of my best. I enjoy the company of others and always find myself wanting to assist others in any way that I can. I am also very open to lots of new things, as long as I am shown how. I am very organized and adapt well to change. I am also a good listener.
