About Mary

I decided to explore helping in the field of caregiving. My last career, involved direct assistant to private owner of Realestate Appraisal business. Once hired, I realized he truly needed not just a business assistant, also and definitely a personal assistant. I was blessed with the ability to help a gentleman who had lived and prospered in life. With many many stories he wanted to share. When I first applied for the job. I truly thought I was going to be Office Manager. One month into this position, I realized, His wife was ill. His daughters did not live close by. He was too proud to admit he needed personal, in-depth help! He immediately trusted me. I had worked for Johnson and Johnson for 25 years in management Responsible for his Personal and Business walfare and needs. He owned many personal Real estate Properties. I had absolutely no experience in this field. However, he saw in me a strong woman. That, I did not even know I am. I helped him get his properties filled with tenants. Collected his income. Showed him his income and express he needed to have a certified financial advisor. I was in no way qualified to handle such authority. Met all his doctors, his personal contractors that repaired and renovated his properties. Met with all his daughters and devised a plan on how to help this very very proud man except the fact he could no longer run a Very busy business. His whole life had turned around and was looking upward. He finally allowed himself to vacation and live his golden years, the way he had set himself up to. I was blessed with the opportunity. After his passing, I thought that maybe this was my calling. I'm just a good listener, know how to cook a little bit. Not the best housekeeper, but I can pick up. As my father would say, "Square this place away!" Military! Doctor's appointment! A MUST. I'm just here to help! If I don't feel I can meet your needs. I would not Apply. Background check available upon request. God bless you.
