About Marissa

I have over 15 years of caregiving experience, 7 of which have been specializing in adult and geriatric care as a Speech Language Pathologist. I currently work full-time in an acute rehabilitation hospital, giving me a wealth of hands-on experience supporting seniors through diverse stages of aging, illness, and physical recovery. My medical background includes current CPR and BLS certifications, as well as extensive clinical knowledge of cognitive-communication changes, swallowing safety, and mobility support. My therapy expertise allows me to read nonverbal cues with high precision, ensuring the seniors in my care feel fully understood, respected, and comfortable. Whether offering gentle companionship, assisting with daily routines, or providing safe, attentive care during evenings and weekends, I bring deep empathy, professional vigilance, and a warm, reliable presence to every family I support.
