About Marlena

Always like smiling and laughing. Keeping a positive attitude. Knowing that the person who is under my care is safe and happy. Accomplishes all that needs to be done. Great listener will sit and listen to anything and everything. Having patients and understanding. Helping to redirect a person to think positive. Finding things that make them happy. When I was younger. When family members would get sick. I would always be the first to figure out what I could do to help and attending to them. As if I was a nurse. It always made me feel good. That I'm helping someone. Making other people happy. My personal achievement would be doing what I love doing. Helping people. Doing everything I would have done if I was younger.

Hi! My name is Rosa, I am an introvert but nonetheless a hard worker, enjoy working with the elderly and disabled community. I am constantly asking my patients how I can accommodate them. If they ask me to go an inch I will go a mile. I enjoy listening to their stories, playing games & running personal errands for them. I believe in having a good work ethic and keeping my patients happy. I will always do my best.
