About Marcelle

I am a good caregiver because I am kind, compassionate, patient, and good-humored. After taking an early retirement from being a counselor, to take care of my mother, I decided I enjoyed helping seniors that need assistance. The most enjoyable part of being a caregiver is to know I tried to help someone to lead the life they chose. Living at home is preferred by many seniors--yet has its challenges. It gives me joy when I help people succeed. For my personal life: My achievements that I am most proud of are raising my three children and seeing them be happy.
