About Maryellen
Experience: 5 yrs
I have always loved elders. My grandmother lived with me growing up and I was very close to her and cared for her until she passed. I consider this experience to be one of the biggest blessings in my life. My first job as a young girl was in a nursing home too. That was all a long time ago and I have worked, in my adult life, as a social worker with other vulnerable populations which I enjoyed immensely as well but at this time in my life I am truly loving caring for elders. I started doing elder care in August 2017 and I have found so much fulfillment and joy in this work. The level of care is different for each person and I am eager to adapt to each person's needs with care and respect. I also understand I am supporting the family as well. I like to establish a natural atmosphere and enjoy preparing meals and making it peaceful, jovial and natural.

MaryEllen helped care for my 95-year-old mother before she passed away. My mother had dementia and lived in her own home with the support of MaryEllen who provided very loving patient and respectful care for her. MaryEllen’s approach to care for my mom, enabled her to feel dignified in some very vulnerable moments in her life. Having dementia creates a sense of fear and distress however, Mary Ellen overcame that with my mom in a very gentle, loving way, which I will always truly appreciate.
