About Marianne

I became a caregiver because I worked with children with special needs my whole life for twenty years and love helping people. I worked in an assisted living as a public relations director and love seniors. I also took care of a woman in her eighties and cooked for her. I love spending time with seniors and just talking about life. I learn so much from them and they have so much wisdom and life experience to share. A personal achievement I am proud of is the fact I have life coaching training. I love to help others create breakthroughs in their lives. I come from a large family and have 14 neices and nephews. I love the outdoors, cooking, making jewelry, attending museums, concerts, reading and helping others. Coming from a large family and teaching special education makes me a prime candidate for an excellent care giver.
