About Maryjane

My family has always been in the healthcare profession for most of their careers,starting with mom(nurse). I have been a caregiver for 25+ years now.The past 3 years I have been working in a senior housing doing Activities.Due to a Head injury 1 year ago-I lost my job for being out for this time..I am now able to work PT,and they couldnot accommodate.So I am seeking PT work.I do have a resident that I just started with yesterday-I will be working 6-10 hours a week with her-doing sewing,arts&crafts,manicures,walks,and possibly country rides!! Her family knows me thru my past job,and were excited to see that I'm on board to help them with their mom.. I could have been a nurse by now,but I'm a "Hands On" person,and get more satisfaction with one on one and getting to know people vs being a paper peddler so to speak! I also have been a big part of my mothers care,I have helped to keep her independant in her apt. for over 5 years,but now she is in middle stages of Alzheimers and needs 24/7 care and is hopefully going to a good place,close so we can continue to forfill her last days,months, or years HAPPY,and Content!! So I have had lots of experience in healthcare,just am unable to do a FT schedule due to my condition...I am now working 24 hrs. weekly,and have applied to many facilities. My LNA license has been renewed,and is good for the next 2 years.

    I have several years of experience as a personal care attendant, mostly for the elderly. I have worked in a facility, as well as provided in-home care both privately and through an agency. I have a lot of experience with all stages of dementia. I really enjoy this kind of work, and find it very meaningful. I love being helpful, love supporting vulnerable populations, and I love working with the elderly. I love to listen to people's stories, learning about who they are, hearing the wisdom they've gained throughout their lives and being there to make their lives a little easier. I have worked in the medical field for over a decade. My medical experience has been very useful in my role as a care provider. I also have experience helping others in a supportive, understanding, and compassionate way in my holistic healing work that I also do (Reiki, bodywork and aromatherapy), another role that I absolutely love. I love animals of all kinds, and have also done pet-care in the past, working for myself - everything from the big creatures like horses to the very small ones, like birds.

    I started working with people at a young age. I worked at a daycare for about two years and then moved to elderly care. I'm very kind hearted and a patient person. I love knowing that I'm helping someone's day become a little easier. I aspire to become a nurse one day and that is what I'm working towards. Ever since I started working in this field I love it I would never give it up !
