About Mara

Hi there! I'm Mara! I am starting nursing school in the fall, and I am so excited to learn more to enhance my skills of caregiving. I grew up in a medical home with two nursing parents, and I've been babysitting for 8 years (it is a bit of an age difference, but most of my clients had special needs). I enjoy helping people and being a friend to those who may be forgotten from time to time by the rest of society as well as getting to know and learn from these people. My personal achievement that I am proud of is that I was one of the first Blue Diamonds at my current job because I took my lunch break to buy a patient clothes for when he left the hospital since his were soiled. I did not do it for recognition, but it was very cool to be one of the inaugural blue diamonds!

I am a great caregiver because I actually wanted to become a nurse because I was raised by my grandmother and I watched her be a caregiver to her parents and kids and also raise me as a daughter and I am her granddaughter. My great grandmother had multiple sclerosis when I was growing up as a young child and she lived next door to us. I used to go help my grandma take care of her till she got bedridden and passed. Both of my grandfathers also had Alzheimer's, dementia and Parkinson's I was also a full-time caregiver to one of them as a young adult. What I enjoy most about being a nurse and a caregiver is companionship. Everyone needs somebody especially the elderly it's very lonely when you get older and I love being a nurse/ caregiver to have my client feel that Most beautiful experience of Someone that actually cares.
