About Mary

I have been a caregiver by nature, having a working Mom, & 2 younger Sisters, it was my responsibility. I became an independent caregiver , as locally there is a need for personal Elderly assistants. When I moved to Junction in 2011 to care for my Parents, others began to ask me to caregive for others, I think people found I was great at being a trusted caregiver, & word of mouth gave me several jobs. I tried to work for Girling, but pay & travel time was not profitable. I am Assurance qualified Caregiver. I care as much for your family member, as my own. I was a C.N.A. in my early years, I learned in those days, there is much to learn from the elderly, & this is care from the heart.
