About Marty
Experience: 8 yrs
People generally find me to be friendly, helpful, calm & supportive. I like caring for seniors because I enjoy giving back to the generations before. I enjoy jobs that allows me to improve someone's quality of life and make them laugh. I started caring for seniors when I first moved to San Francisco In my spare time, I like to hike, sing & do theater improv One thing I'm good at is helping people talk about and deal with unpleasant circumstances. I'm smart & nerdy so I'm generally good with neurodiverse folks. My skills include listening, understanding anatomy, body mechanics, nutrition & preventing conflict, I worked for two years in a hospital and trained as a medical interpreter. I'm very comfortable, friendly & assertive in hospital/care home & hospice settings. I have experience in social services including homeless shelters and running support groups. No transfers or heavy lifting, sorry.
Most recent review
When I travel out of town, I need someone who can provide medication prompting, companionship, and transportation for my son. I was fortunate to find Marty, who is highly qualified and experienced in working with neurodiverse individuals. I initially hired Marty primarily for companionship and transportation, he quickly stepped into the role with confidence and immediately understood the needs of the situation. My son genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. Marty took him bowling, on walks, to the grocery store and out to eat, making their time together both engaging and enjoyable. Marty was consistently punctual, communicative, and dependable. He kept me informed, responded promptly to messages, and was very receptive whenever I needed to clarify expectations or establish boundaries. I appreciated his professionalism, flexibility, and caring approach. I would gladly recommend Marty to other families looking for a compassionate and reliable caregiver.
