About Marnie

I have 10+ years' experience doing senior care! I enjoy games, watching TV, or simply chatting with seniors. I am a very easy-going, COMPASSIONATE person who cares deeply for those I work with-both family members and patients! I have gone through this myself and know that watching those we love decline is stressful, emotional time for all those concerned. As my mother put it: "Getting old is hell." I hope that I can be the person you can turn to when you need help. I am open to the occasional day/night/weekend job as well as I know sometimes you just have things you need to do or need some time away...
