About Marcia

I am an incredibly patient, flexible, resourceful caretaker. My personality has always drawn me toward helping others (I have a degree in Social Work). I enjoy helping the elderly manage daily tasks. I am not squeamish about helping with physical issues. I am also very good at helping people achieve the nagging things they have trouble doing, like getting rid of old clothes and clutter. Helping people gives me a feeling of purpose.

Hello, my name is Marlena and I have been a caregiver since 2015. I am always helping others so that is a reason to my liking to work as a caregiver. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is the ability to help others and spread joy. The personal achievement that I am proud of is that I recently was part of a commitee for the American Cancer Society Breast Cancer walk. All of the meetings and walk throughs, the event turned out to be wonderfully fun.
