About Mercy

My name is Mercy and I am happy to be your choice caregiver. I spent the last 4 years caring for my grandkids and now the younger one is off to middle school come this Fall. This gives me ample time to seek work outside of the home. Before I settled with my grandkids, I took care of my husband with a stroke until he passed 5 years ago. I took the PCA training and helped take care of a paralyzed patient in Minnesota until I moved to Virginia.

I am Virginia Board Certified Nursing Assistant with over five years of home health and assisted living care. After raising four children I returned to school and became certified as a Home Health Aid, Nursing Assistant as well as Phlebotomy Tech. I believe that everyone has the right to quality care, and an advocate to ensure they are treated with dignity and respect. Raising four children has taught me that one must always use and implement active listening skills as well as expect the unexpected. My passion for health care comes from years of experience as a mother, wife and caregiver to family and friends.
