About Mary

What makes me a great caregiver is that I empathize with the individual I am taking care of and I do my best to make sure they receive the care and companionship they need with love and respect. I am caring, kind, fun to be around and most importantly I take my caregiving work seriously. I enjoy seeing the joy I bring to the people I care for and to see them having a good comfortable life despite their situation. My personal achievement that I am proud of was to see a great change in the individuals I have worked with. For example, I have been able to assist an individual who was thought not capable of doing anything for himself, learn to dress himself and use the restroom instead of soiling himself. Helping another individual learn to cook simple meals. I enjoy to see the happy smiles of my individuals whenever they achieve a goal, happy smiles when they feel well taken care of and safe. I also like to engage the individuals with fun activities depending on their abilities and what they enjoy to do.

Hello, my name is Carrie Wallace. I became a caregiver because I am passionate about taking care of people. I strongly believe everyone deserves trustworthy, dependable, and compassionate care and be treated as if they were a member of my own family. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is getting to know people from all ages, stages and walks of life. As a CNA, I continue to take the necessary college courses to work towards becoming a Registered Nurse. I consider caregiving to be an enriching profession where I am compassionate, patient, considerate, nurturing, responsible, reliable, honest and family oriented. I offer experience with medical management, mobility assistance, bathing, dressing, transferring, eating, walking, grooming, toileting, personal care, light housework, laundry, meal preparation, shopping, errands, and companionship. My proudest personal achievement has been raising of my two, now grown, sons, who have both become very good young men.
