About Marissa

I am very compassionate, my friends and family would say I'm too caring. I love to help out as much as I can with people in need. Becoming a caregiver has always been my interest because I am very family oriented and I always wanted to take care of my family, and as my grandparents got older it gave me the opportunity to help them with their every day life and make them feel better about things they are not able to do anymore. By doing things like that it gives me a sense of accomplishment and really is rewarding to me. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is being able to give someone that quality of life back and seeing them happy, I am really loveable and friendly so I make them my family. My most personal achievement in life so far, would probably becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant at 17 then being the first one of my siblings to graduate high school (I am the 3rd born). I am also in school getting my associates in biology to then transfer to nursing school.

I am a very friendly, caring, and out going person. I love and enjoy working with elderly people and have a compassion to see there well being. I became a caregiver because my deceased husband fell very ill and needed someone to take care of him. By stepping up to this challenge, it gave me the skills and knowledge that a caregiver needs in the field. I have also learned a lot by working with different individuals hands on, over time. What i enjoy the most about being a caregiver is seeing my patients happy and enjoying life because they have someone by their side step by step.

$18.00/hour · Auberry, CA
My name is Gayle Lusk but I go by "Lisa", I have lived in Auberry for many years and very proud of my community. I am a compassionate and caring person. My main priority is to my clients. I have been taking care of the elderly, special needs, adults & children for over 30 years. I have a big heart and I always make my clients very happy. The best part of caring for someone is seeing them laugh and enjoying my time with them. I have worked for Foothill Elementary School since 2019 and I enjoy working with the children and watching them grow. I prefer not to work weekends but in a pinch, I would. My life has always and will be about taking care of people. I have been this way since I was very little. If you decide to choose me for a position with you and your family, I will not disappoint you. I always and will take care of people like I would want to be taken care of. Thank you for this opportunity to work with you and your family. Should you decide to interview me, CareLinx has my permission to give you my email and/or phone number if you have any questions. Thank you
