Hi my name is Marissa, I started caregiving after I graduated highschool. I was very close with my grandma. She was my world. She passed away in 2009, and I honestly did it there on out. Elderly are super important to me and need to be loved. I love knowing I can help a family in need when I know how tough it is to care for a parent or family member when you have your own life to live as well, I enjoy it and it could be a good career. It's rough sometimes, and I miss who I've cared for but it is the circle of life. I hope to help families in need and I hope to have a good job opportunity from it and gain an extra family. :) Hope you contact me and we can discuss the care your family member needs. Stay safe stay healthy! Marissa. My work experience has been a wide range. Parkinson's disease. Managing and adminstiring meds. Dementia Alzheimers med giving Bed bound patients Bed baths med giving feeding. Gtube feeding switching out bags and adminstiring pills through gtube. Companionship weekly I'd buy lunch and we'd play games puzzles etc walks outside or simply staying in watching the news. I have given insulin for diabetics also checking blood sugar catheter changes and new ones! I am very qualifed for many positions. I was also a personal assistant as well, computer work, errands, work emails business calls.

I am a very caring, patient, and responsible caregiver. One of my biggest passions is helping others. From the time I started working as a CNA to now I have loved every part of it. This type of work is so rewarding. Getting to know the residents and learning more about them is one of the best parts of this job.

I enjoy being a caregiver for the benefits. I never thought I would be in the healthcare field, but after my first CBRF job I fell in love with it. I look forward to seeing people that are thriving partially because of my actions and I have learned so much. My most rewarding healthcare moment is getting someone who was "100% impossible" to start enjoying life again.

I am a compassionate, caring, dependable individual. My work ethic is excellent as well as my attention to detail. I am available to start immediately and I am CBRF certified.

I am a very caring, compassionate, and gentle person. I have what it takes to get the job done if strength is neccessary. I enjoy working with elderly people and have in the past. I enjoy cooking and cleaning and making people feel comfortable.
