About Mary

I became a caregiver when both of my grandparents needed extra help with ADL's and my mother could no longer assist them due to physical ailments that she was experiencing. Later on, it was my mother and father who needed my caregiving for the same assistance. Being a caregiver is my passion. I know, when I leave for the day that my friend is well taken care of and happy because they realize that I will be back tomorrow to be there for them. Over the 30 years that I have been a caregiver, I did obtain my certified nurses assistant license as well as a 40 hour medication aide license and an assisted living administrators license; all remain current. I am a "young " 52 year old woman with two grown children, a son & daughter, both of whom I am very proud.

    I became a Cna looking to finish a nursing degree that I had started previous to living in Nebraska. After receiving my Cna and working in a fully skilled facility I realized that was my calling. Not nursing as I had previously thought. I prefer direct contact with the people I am caring for and found that as a nurse you spend most of your time behind the scenes. I have done this for almost 2 years and I couldn't imagine doing anything else. I am great at this, do to my desire to make everyone happy and loving to see them smile. The love I get in return for my care is better than any amount of money could be. Feels good to make a living doing what you love and being loved in return.

    I love being able to take care of others. It's always been a passion of mine! I love being able to make someone's day better by just the simple things we take for granted sometimes such as bathing or eating. I enjoy being able to get to know the people I take care of and building a rapport with them.
