Experience: 5 yrs
I am reliable, honest, and hardworking. I am very upbeat, positive, patient, compassionate and smart. I can provide safe/comfortable transportation to appointments, activities, exercise classes, outings, provide medication prompts, prepare tasty meals, do light housekeeping, and more. I like caring for seniors because I think our elder population is amazing. They have wisdom from generations of living and I enjoy hearing the stories they share. I'm looking for a job where I'm able to make a positive contribution for people to enjoy their days and be as happy as possible. I started caring for seniors in 2015 when my mother went to an assisted living facility and required additional care. In my spare time, I like to listen to music, read, walk, participate in social activities, garden, spending time with my animals. & playing games. Please reply to let me know how I may be of best service for your needs. Thank you, Mary P - Encinitas
We hired Mary to provide companion care for my mother, who is living with dementia in memory care facility, and she has been an absolute godsend. Caring for a loved one with memory loss requires a unique blend of patience, empathy, and emotional intelligence, and Mary possesses all three in abundance. From her very first day, Mary demonstrated a deep understanding of how to engage my mother. She doesn't just "watch" her; she truly connects with her. Whether they are looking through old photos, listening to music, or simply sharing a quiet moment, Mary has a remarkable ability to meet my mother where she is on any given day. She handles the repetitive questions and occasional confusion that come with dementia with incredible grace and a calming presence that puts our entire family at ease. Beyond her technical skills, Mary is incredibly reliable, professional, and proactive. She is a wonderful communicator, always keeping us updated on how the day went and noting any subtle changes in my mother’s mood or well-being. Knowing that my mom is in Mary’s capable and kind hands has provided us with immense peace of mind.
