About Mary

Hi! I'm a fun, enthusiastic, experienced direct care professional who formerly worked as a caregiver to seniors for Catholic Community Services in Tucson AZ. As a former college instructor for 20 years in Chicago at The Illinois Institute of Art you can count on my ability to be dependable, on time, reliable and professional. My trainer at Catholic Community Services and a senior from my own business would be happy to give you an overview of how I provided excellent service. I provided medication management, mental health care, bathing and grooming, meal prep, transportation, physical therapy and exercise assistance, errands, and light housekeeping and fun companionship to our clients. My top personal achievement in this professional field was the night I assisted a client having a severe respiratory attack and prevented them from having to go to the hospital. I am very, very attentive. I have a very up personality and what gets me up out of bed in the morning is the chance to make a positive difference in someone's day and that's why I chose to become a Home Health Aide. I have a current CPR & First Aid Card & AZ Finger Print Clearance Card and am a non-smoker. I also passed all background checks with 100% clearance. I am flexible with hours! Let me know how I can be of service!
