About Marissa

Ever since I was a little girl elderly people where like second nature to me. I grew up in a loving home with my grandparents AND great grandparents. There was never a dull moment. My grandmother owned her own hair salon out of her home and all she did was elderly peoples hair. She would travel to different nursing and retirement homes and i would always tag along. Meeting new elderly people was so refreshing to me I instantly become best friends with them. Most of the time they would call me their grand daughter. So growing up there was nothing I loved more. When i was sixteen i got a job at a retirement home as a server i would take orders and serve the elderly dealing with dementia and much more and on my days off i would come in and just hangout with them and make them laugh and smile there was no better feeling i then become a home health aide for a little bit until the lady i worked with passed away. I am now looking for another lovely "best friend".
