About Mary

The thing that makes me a great Caregiver is : I love caring for people who need my help ! I'm a CNA , and have worked in a Nursing Home , Private Group Homes , and done Private In Home Healthcare for the elderly . I even took care of my own Mother in my home for several years , seeing to her meds , personal hygiene , meals etc... I took care of her until she was almost 88 years old , became extremely ill , was put on Hospice , and she passed away in my home , with me present ! I basically love people , and find caring for those that need the help of a CNA , very rewarding . A little history about me : I was a stay at home Mom for 20+ years , and raised 5 beautiful children . They are all grown now , and very successful ! All my patients loved me because they knew I really cared about them , and their families !

I am an extrovert, always smiling & seldom sit! If I can add a smile to someone's day or make them feel special, then both of us will have a rewarding day! I was a pediatric ophthalmology specialist in Canada; when we were transferred to the USA, I began a food manufacturing company. A friend approached me in 2015 to ask if I would help with their mum who was near vegetative status due to progressing dementia and being alone. Four months later, this beautiful Lady was walking, singing, dancing, and cooking with me - one of the most self-gratifying endeavors of my life. Now living in the beautiful hill country, retirement is not satisfying - I do volunteer at the VA hospital just to see these heroes smile, laugh & have someone to listen to them... and of course plenty of hugs! I would treasure being able to help another person find enjoyment in life. Hence, I am adding my profile here. *Dog lover yet terrified of cats! *COVID vaccine x2 by VA hospital. *Infusion by Peterson Hosp.
