Hello, Families,
I am a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA). I have been caring for Seniors for over 15 years! I currently specialize in "One-Time" and Respite Care; daily visits (3-hour minimum). My CNA license is current and in good standing with the Board of Nursing.
I have Level 1 Identity Verified Fingerprint and Background Clearance. I am a College Graduate. I am COVID-vaccinated with Booster and received a positive MMR titer - which demonstrates immunity to Measles, Mumps and Rubella. How may I help you?

Marylou helped me for 6 weeks. She was very dependable and compassionate. She provided excellent care during that time. She made meals, did laundry, changed bedding, shopped for groceries, assisted with bathing etc.  She is compassionate, caring and treated me like family.  She is very honest, pleasant, and you receive 100% of her attention.  
Marylou also did caregiving for my mom for several months. She was the most honest and dependable caregiver my mother had. When my mother passed away, we stayed in touch with each other.  
I would gladly hire Marylou again and highly recommend her. 
I would hire Marylou again and wish that there were more people like her that you could depend on for caregiving. One of the things that was important to me and my mother was that she was not on her phone, playing games, etc. 
I highly recommend Marylou and would hire her again. 


Marylou was kind and caring with my mom, and made me feel so much better about taking a few days off for a rest after mom’s surgery. Will be contacting her again!

We have had the pleasure of working with Marylou as a caregiver for our loved one, and our experience has been nothing short of exceptional.
Marylou is both professional and incredibly personable, bringing warmth and compassion into every interaction. She delivers care with thoroughness and attention to detail, always ensuring our loved one’s needs are met with kindness and respect. What truly stood out to us was her genuine concern—not only for the person in her care but for our entire family.
She is trustworthy, reliable, honest, and deeply compassionate. These qualities gave us peace of mind and made it easy to welcome her into our home. We never had to worry—Marylou consistently went above and beyond to provide comfort, support, and quality care.
Our family fully plans to continue utilizing Marylou’s services as needs arise, and we would gladly recommend her to others seeking dependable and heartfelt care for a loved one.


Marylou is very conscientious and detail oriented. She provided me with a much needed respite. I felt comfortable leaving my mom in her care and for that, I am deeply grateful.

Marylou was our angel.  We were in a difficult place with my mother not knowing how to fulfill her request of aging in place.  She was no longer safe on her own and we needed to find a solution that kept my mother safe and that we could afford.  I found Marylou on Care.com after speaking to many different care givers.  I live far away from my mother and I was finding it hard to find someone I never met before and let her take care of the most precious thing to me.. my mom.  

Marylou stood out amongst all my messages I received from the very beginning.  Her professionalism, patience and guidance was something I very much appreciated it.  Marylou brought the joy back to my mothers life.  We joked as we wished we could keep her forever, however Marylou was not looking for a full time position just respite care.  That said she helped us understand what my mother needed.

If you have the opportunity to have Marylou looked after your loved one you won't be disappointed.


Marylou is beyond amazing.  She cared for my mother who is experiencing cognitive decline.   She was compassionate and a creative problem solver.   She kept our family informed and helped  us navigate difficult situations.   She is extrordinary and anyone who has the opportunity to work with her has been given a great gift.

I am pleased to write a glowing recommendation for Mary Lou, who provided exceptional care for my mother and our entire family. From the moment she joined us, it was clear that she was not only highly skilled but also deeply compassionate and dedicated to her work.  MaryLuo always arrived on time and reliably, which we truly appreciated.
Her kindness and empathy were evident in every interaction. She took the time to truly listen to my mother’s needs and ensured that she felt comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times.  Even when interactions were difficult, she always was patient and kind with her delivery.  Beyond her professional expertise, what stood out the most was how she felt like family right away.  Her warmth, patience, and genuine concern for my mother’s well-being made a significant difference in our lives during a challenging timeand afforded me the precious moments to be a daughter, not a nurse or caregiver.  She was exceptional in every aspect and demonstrated skills and kindness well beyond any hospice nurse we encountered throughout my mom's illness. 

In short, MaryLuo went above and beyond to ensure that my mother was treated with the utmost respect and dignity. Her presence was a source of comfort and reassurance to us all, and we are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care she provided. We wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of compassionate, top-tier care

Wow. just wow. Exceeded all our expectations, Marylou helped out my 80 yr mom post hip replacement for the first critical 2 weeks post-surgery.  She came in the night prior to surgery and was ready to go the minute she came home.  Organizational skills = 10, compassion = 10, Willingness to go above and beyond = 10, ability to meet mom's physical AND emotional needs = 10. ability to foresee needs = 10.  brought laughter and joy into the home at a stressful time =10.   so, you may ask what could be better? Well guess if I had to say one thing - anyone one else than Marylou that helps out going forward - mom (who is a tough but sweet critic) will now always compare to her experience of Marylou's gold standard care.  And dad who hesitated to have anyone in the house (to begin with), already asked her to come back! A big win!  THANK YOU, Marylou!

Marylou is a ray of sunshine! She was compassionate, caring, and has great attention to detail. She cared for my mother who suffers with Parkinson's and I had full confidence my mom was in capable and loving hands. I highly recommend her and hope she will be available to care for my mom in the future.

Marylou cared for my two dogs. One of the dogs is a bit timid, and both have special needs (seizure disorder, inflammatory bowel disease). She was great!! I came home to 2 calm, happy dogs and a spotless house. Highly recommend her.

Marylou was a reliable, competent, and dependable  member of our care team. We appreciated her help taking care of my aging parents. 

Marylou and Michael are the best when it comes to watching my 12 year old pup. They are very attentive and listen to directions and leave your house just as it was when you left. I highly recommend them!! They are my go to! 

I will definitely use Marylou again should the need arise.  She was more like a friend than a helper.  I was bed bound for a couple of weeks after my knee replacement surgery and so it was comforting to have her around in case I fell and to bring me ice for my knee and food to keep me nourished.  She was also quite helpful in driving me to and from my PT appointments during my recovery.

You never forget your first caregiver - Marylou is a dream, she's compassionate and always on time - We would hire her again.

She was just wonderful and helped with my 51 year son over and above. Always on time, watch over him when going to the hospital for a weekly procedure and even took him shopping. This was no easy task and she made it look it easy. My son truly enjoyed her which we are so grateful that we were able to find her!
Thank you Marylou for all of your extra care and attention to my son's needs.

She has been a caregiver for my husband who has Lewy Body Parkinson Dementia for two years. She is a phenomenal person and caregiver, extremely caring , very professional , very hard working and has taken wonderful care of my husband under some very difficult situations. She has also become our friend. I give her the highest recommendation.

She was amazing, helpful, kind and compassionate. On time and went above and beyond. Would definitely rehire again!

Marylou is compassionate, kind, flexible and reliable. She is smart and capable, and able to respond to whatever needs present themselves. 

We would definitely ask her to help us again if we needed assistance in our family again.

Marylou is type of person you feel comfortable right away. She is dependable, does a good thorough work on everything she does. Communication is her strong point as well as a good listener. She cared(attitude) for me and that goes a long way.

Marylou is extremely knowledgeable and caring. She took care of my sister who was very ill with the effects of cancer and chemotherapy. There were many things which we as family members we could not provide. Marylou was very helpful in allowing us to be present in a meaningful way as family members. She was willing to do anything to help us. She knew what would make my sister feel better as she went along her final journey. If Marylou is available you won't regret hiring her. I would hire her again anytime.
