Experience: 10 yrs

I am a retired registered dietitian with a good understanding of how to care for and help others, with respect and kindness. Many of the individuals that I've cared for over the past 30 years have had dementia and/or Alzheimer's. In addition to caring for people in their homes, I have worked in hospitals and long term care facilities. My cooking and housekeeping skills are excellent. I enjoy listening to others' stories. Empathy for others comes naturally. My sense of humor and patience are two of my best qualities. Laughter is the best medicine most of the time. Over the years, I have cared for many people with different needs and expectations. Helping others is second nature to me. Dependable transportation. Pease contact me, and you will be pleased. I promise. Marian

Mari was my mother's caregiver and companion in a nursing home facility for over 9 months, until the nursing home closed its doors to all visitors due to the coronavirus pandemic. During this time I found Mari to be highly dependable, competent, patient, compassionate, and a person of the highest integrity. She paid careful attention to my mom's needs and went above and beyond to advocate for the best possible care as my mom suffers with late stage dementia and has mobility and other medical issues. Mari earned my complete trust and confidence and I would not hesitate to give her the highest possible recommendation. Any family would be truly fortunate to secure Mari's services.
