About Marla
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am a reliable, kind, and patient caregiver dedicated to providing compassionate support for seniors. My passion for caregiving stems from personal experience-caring for my aging parents, my deceased terminally ill daughter, and individuals with disabilities, including those with autism and profound hearing loss. These experiences have given me deep empathy, patience, and the ability to truly understand and meet the unique needs of those in my care. I love working with seniors because of the rich history they carry, the meaningful conversations we share, and the lessons I learn from their experiences. I strive to engage my clients in activities they enjoy, whether it's storytelling, games, walks, or spending quality time together. Trustworthiness is at the core of who I am. I take pride in creating a safe, engaging, and comfortable environment where individuals feel valued and heard. If you're looking for a caregiver who will treat your loved one like family, I'd love to help.

An Exceptional Caregiver There are caregivers, and then there are those rare, truly special people who have an innate gift for caring for others—my mom is one of them. Her compassion, patience, and dedication to those in need have been evident throughout her life, from her years working in a hospital setting to the deeply personal care she has provided for our family and friends. She was a steadfast and loving caregiver to my sister during her battle with terminal illness, providing not only physical support but also emotional strength. She did the same for several others in a variety of ways over the years as needs have come up, ensuring those she cared for were comfortable, stimulated and surrounded by warmth and love. Through it all, my mom remained calm, patient, and endlessly kind. What sets her apart is her ability to balance gentleness with motivation. She brings a positive energy to even the most challenging situations, always encouraging and uplifting those in her care. Her passion for helping others is undeniable, and she has a way of making people feel truly seen, valued, and supported. If you are looking for someone who will care for your loved one with the same level of dedication and love that she has shown our family, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is a true gift to those she cares for. I’m local to Chicago and happy to provide a reference via email, phone or in person.
