About Merla

Experience: 10 yrs

Bringing joy and comfort to seniors is my calling. For the past 17 years, I've dedicated myself to providing compassionate care, adapting to changing needs with patience and a calm demeanor. I understand the importance of earning trust and handling challenging situations, including confusion or agitation, with empathy. I keep families informed through written reports and verbal updates, always following their preferred communication style. I am experienced in providing transportation, running errands, light housekeeping, and preparing meals. I hold certifications in CPR and First Aid. My goal is to support your loved one's well-being and independence, and I would be honored to bring my experience and caring nature to your family.
