About Marilyn

I have more than 25 yrs experience in being a caregiver, I am not only a parent of 2 grown children, I have been a Licensed Foster Parent, for more than 17 yrs, I have had over 550 children in my home at some point during my foster care time. In 2010 I received the award for Best Foster Parent, with my Agency. I also received one in 2011. It has been a passion with me since I was very young to help others. .

After seeing my grandmother and grandfather in assisted living facilities without proper companionship or care from their caregivers and nurses I made the decision to make a difference. 8 years ago my father was diagnosed with Dementia. With his progression of the disease our family had to make a choice and decided it was in his best interest to be in a facility. By the grace of god he is well taken care. During this time I made decision to go to nursing school to become a licensed nurse. Having gone through the process and working in assisted living facilities I became well aware of the elderly and all the help that was needed, especially with companionship. A lot of patients have no family to visit or family that has no interest to visit. This has become very close to my heart and the joy I get to be able to spend with these patients is as rewarding as it gets. I enjoy being able to provide the skills I have learned and to provide the assistance and respite care that a family needs.

Hi, my name is Alisha! I have 5 boys ranging in age from 1 year old to 19 years old. I've spent a lot of time caring for others and it's something I truly enjoy doing! I learn quickly and am eager to please those that I work for! I have been blessed to be a stay at home mom for most of my boys lives and wouldn't change a thing! I am a PRO at organizing and love to do laundry! I love animals, dogs are my favorite. I did have the pleasure to care for my grandmother when she fell ill and I thoroughly enjoyed our extra time together and loved to help her with things she could no longer do herself... I'd love to build a lasting relationship with your family and help out wherever needed. With having 5 boys I have a ton of GREAT stories to tell too!
