About Me
-
Describe Yourself:My name is Marion. I am 31 years old. I have lived in Texas all my life. I have been a caretaker for my mother-in-law for the past almost eleven years. I began taking care of her when I was 21 years old.
I am a caregiver, home health aide, executive director of TEXAS ASSOCIATION OF HEALTH CARE PRACTITIONERS (TAHCP -- website: www.tahcp-eldercare.org), patient advocate, and critical outreach coordinator. I live a full life everyday. And I am blessed by God to know my husband and my mother-in-law.

On Gather, I'm Looking For ...:Other people who take care of the aged and elderly in their home, nursing home, or any other facilities. Also looking to reach out to caretakers, nurse aides, home health aides, and any one else in the field of health care. I am looking to reach out and create a community of understanding, compassion, support group, a way to help those who need help, and many other things. So come along for the journey with me. Tell me about yourself.

GOAL IN LIFE:MY GOAL IN THIS LIFE IS TO CREATE A SUPPORT AND EDUCATION NETWORK FOR HOME HEALTH AIDES, NURSE AIDES, ALL OTHERS INVOLVED IN LONG TERM CARE FOR THE ELDERLY AND INDIGENT, AND FAMILY MEMBERS. THERE IS NO ORGANIZATION OUT THERE RIGHT NOW THAT TRULY MEETS ALL THE NEEDS OF THE MASSES TAKING CARE OF AND WORKING WITH THE ELDERLY AND THE INDIGENT. SURE THEY EXIST BUT NOT IN A COHERENT WAY THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE. MY GOAL IS TO ALSO CREATE WORKSHOPS AND SEMINARS THAT WILL TEACH AND UPLIFT ALL INVOLVED IN THE LONGTERM CARE PROCESS. AND TO GIVE THEM THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO WORK HARDER AND CARRY ON LONGER. MAY GOD BLESS THIS VENTURE AND SEE IT COME TO FRUITION.

Liz Samaniego, Aug 16, 2009, 6:32PM EDTHi Heather! I just wanted to say welcome to Successful Work at Home Moms. I applaud you for taking care of you mother-in-law for all of these years as well as you and your cause to help others. I myself have a best friend who is now taking care of her mom, because her dad pasted away. She tells me that it's hard at time but could not bear to put her mother in a home and wanted to make every effort to keep her with her as long as she was able to take care of her. So I applaud anyone who takes the time and effort to do such a wonderful things. Because if it wasn't for our parents raising us all of those years where would we be. ;-)
