About Marissa

Hi my name is Marissa, I've been doing this job for 8 years now! I started this career 8 years ago and I think even before. When I was young I always was around my grandma she was my world. I was always around her friends helping with decorations errands cooking cleaning you name it. I think that's where it started. In 2009 my grandma passed away. And she was my world. I think I always wanted to stay in this field because it fills a void for me. It makes me happy being around the elderly. They are like family. They need help and love like everyone. Healthcare and mental health is super important. Caring about people and paying it forward is super important to me. I've worked with dementia,Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, diabetic, gtube changing and feeding. Hoyer lift medical give and reminder and also catheter changes. Please let me know your families story. And I will help the best way I can.
