About Mary

I have recently discovered a real passion for working with the elderly and people facing terminal illness. I have spent the last 8 years as a teacher and teacher trainer traveling the world, but after serving as the caregiver to two terminally ill parents - I want to help other families going through similar experiences. I am ready to jump in and do whatever will help make your family's life a little easier and your family member's day a little brighter. From cooking and cleaning, bathing and personal care to immersing myself in whatever hobbies your family member enjoys, I'm up for it!

    Experience & Education

    Global Director of Teacher Training

    Apr 2013 - Apr 2016
    Bridge International Academies
    I have spent the last 9 years in education, most recently as the global director of teacher training - managing a multi-national team of teacher trainers and overseeing the teacher training programs for thousands of teachers across four developing countries. While this is my first venture into health care, my own personal experiences as a caregiver highlighted how many similarities there are in the field of teaching and caregiving. I'm a diligent, creative, patient and thoughtful educator and bring those skills to caregiving as well.

    My first job, at age 10, was summer companion to my maternal grandmother. Working for the family matriarch required abundant labor (my grandmother was elderly), but the daily chores gave rise to an unexpected pleasure; I liked being responsible. For 12 lovely summers, I cleared the acorns from her croquet court, hiked to the store to buy her groceries, and delivered her (she did not drive) by rowboat to tea at the homes of neighbors. Within the formality of her cottage, I learned to be a responsible member of a household. And whether I felt like it or not, I learned to be good company. Still under my grandmother's spell, I have worked as a lady's companion and as a gentleman's secretary for more than 20 years. Although I am no longer gathering acorns, I accompany my employers on their travels, keep them company at cultural events, edit their memoirs, and teach them them how to draw and paint. I have found these employments to be congenial and remunerative. They give me great pleasure.
