About Me

I have been a caregiver for more than 10 years. I became a caregiver because I have needed help at times in my own life. I have had different caregivers in my life and I saw what it takes to be a good caregiver. I saw what a caregiver should do and I wanted to be that person. I like to make my clients feel comfortable and feel good about themselves. I look at the way the client would like to feel at home and try to accommodate their needs. When they’re happy, I’m happy. I like to read and write with my clients, as well as play games and do whatever they would like to do. We go for walks, watch movies, whatever they enjoy I will participate in. When I am not working, I like reading and watching documentaries and nature shows.

Recommendations

Marvalyn is a delightful, loving, and professional caregiver. She was our nighttime caregiver for six weeks in the late fall of 2022 and she worked Fridays to Sundays from 8 pm to 8 am. Charming, bright, intelligent, and quite strong for mobility issues, she learns routines quickly and had a lovely way with my parents who needed mobility, memory, and nursing care. Nighttime can be challenging with two memory-impaired adults who have different night schedules and personalities, but she handled them with grace and humor. Marvalyn's help was no longer needed after we moved my parents out of state. Marvalyn has a wonderful heart, and we highly recommend her to any family.

My mother was on hospice when Marvalyn came to help us. I particularly would like to praise Marvalyn, whose amity, efficiency and calm, friendly demeanor, which inspired trust, made the day much easier in the midst of a difficult situation. I would recommend her highly to families in the same position as I have been.

- William H., New York, LeanOnWe Customer

I recommend Marvalyn without reservation and if we were able to clone her, we would. She is a wonderful caregiver and a wonderful person. She was reliable, attentive to detail, and very interactive with my mother. My mother had dementia and although she was mobile, she used a walker and needed help. Marvalyn just cared a lot about her patient and she had a lot of patience. She did everything for my mother — food preparation, grooming, bathing. Marvalyn was very neat and very clean, and always wanted to do what was necessary for proper patient care.

- Sharon M., New Jersey

Marvalyn cared for my significant other for about two years in 2010-2012. He was a diabetic with heart problems and many other medical issues. She was with him 24 hours a day and was wonderful. We always trusted her and never had a problem. I had other caregivers, and they were not like Marvalyn. I absolutely would hire her again. She was terrific.

- Josephine M., New Jersey

Marvalyn was a companion for my bedridden husband for a few months, ending in January 2014. She did everything for him, including bathing and feeding responsibilities. She is extremely helpful, honest, and caring. She also has a wonderful personality. She is simply THE BEST. I can't stop raving about her. She also drives, which is fabulous. You will not be disappointed working with Marvalyn!
