About Marissa

Hello : Thank you for taking time to hear a little bit about myself career and family. I am a retired Certified Medical Assistant with over 20 years experience.. I have been married 21 years to my wonderful husband and blessed with 2 great daughter's. As of 2 1/2 years ago we were blessed once again with a precious little granddaughter. Retirement came a bit early for me as I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis in early 2000. I fought as long as my body would allow before knowing that I could no longer perform at my job everyday at the level needed. When the time for retirement came, It truly broke my heart. I knew I needed to take care of me as I had my family and many more years of life left to live. As of now my disease is in complete control/remission.I have some days better than others but that is part of everyday life for not only myself but anybody who suffers with a disability. This leads me to the understanding of what it is like to live with a disability and or disease that effects a person's daily life. The compassion I have for any person suffering is ire-measurable. Trust me, I understand even if we may differ from circumstance. I "get it". With this being said, I am a very loving and compassionate individual. I absolutely LOVE all types of people. During my career I worked with many who suffered & needed someone who would go the extra mile. I never questioned, I just did my job with expertise love and compassion. Being Honest and having integrity are one of my many attributes, I raised my 2 girls the same way. I'm looking to help individuals who are dealing with life's unfortunate episodes. At this time I am willing to work 20-25 hours a week. If you are looking for honesty professionalism and a woman with a heart, I would welcome a conversation with you. If I can help you or a loved one, please contact me. Thank you in advance for your time. Respectfully, Kim Wallington kimwallington@Yahoo.com (337) 292-6968
