About Mary Ann

Nursing is a calling for me. Making sure that people receive the best possible care I am able to provide is my most important goal. Safety first always, compassion, dignity, privacy, respect and hope are all important attribute's that I find essential to good nursing care. It is a meaningful gratifying experience to know that I can add to someone's life and possibility bring goodness when health issues can be a challenge and so often depressing. Good nursing requires being completely present while in someone's home or in a facility. My standards are no cell phones while at work, no clock watching, and I always address people with respect by using MR.or Mrs. (last name) until I am encouraged otherwise. Using Mama or Papa and other terms of endearment are not appropriate for me personally in professional healthcare. I use old fashion "yes Mam, yes Sir, no Mam, no Sir. and in an audible understandable language. CNA #00648980

I am 30years old with over 10 years of professional caregiving experience. I became a caregiver because helping others is truly an amazing feeling. I am very dedicated to my clients and their well-being. I am dependable. I am very respectful of people and their emotions. I have a habit of putting others first, which I find to be good. I have a lot of patience for people, everything takes time. I love to organize and to keep things in a simple and easy way to find. Cooking is always fun especially finding new ways to keep it healthy. I believe communication is key, wether it's just listening to a story or instructions they are just as important. Making sure every situation is a safe environment, safety is number one. I just really love to be a part of someone's life and to make a positive impact on their life's when most needed. It brings me joy to help others.
