About Marquitta

Caregiving is a job that requires more than skill. It takes passion, a heart of patience and a mind of understanding in order to be an excellent provider and make a difference in the lives of the people you are assisting. Its important to be able to meet the need of those you are helping. That can be done best when the one providing the care actually wants to vs. Simply doing it for money. With that being said, I enjoy taking care of others who are in need. I've been in this field working for 9 years. I enjoy getting to know those whom I am helping and the families of those who are involved. Its important to meet the need with love. Outside of Caregiving I enjoy singing and animals of all sorts. Whenever I get the opportunity ity to merge work with my other passions of music and animals, life is great.
