“My name is Maryanne. I am a Registered Nurse with over 26 years of caregiving experience to different clients with different care needs in different care settings. My caregiving experience started in 1998 when I became a Certified Nursing Assistant in long term and subacute facilities. After working for a few years, I saw the need to seek more knowledge to be able to provide more advance care to my clients.

I advanced my education while working as a nursing
assistant and in 2001 attained my Licensed Practical
Nursing certification from MassBay Community College in Framingham, Massachusetts where I worked in a long term and skilled facility for the next fourteen years. During my time as a CNA and an LPN, I worked with patients from different backgrounds that required diverse care needs including dementia, various mental illnesses, and post-surgical rehabilitation.

I enjoyed making a difference in peoples’ lives and the
passion I had continued to grow. In a quest to further my
education and advance my scoop of practice, I went
back to nursing school and in 2014 and obtained my Associate Degree in Nursing from Mount Wachusett Community College. Two years later in 2016, I earned
my Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing from Elms College in Chicopee, Massachusetts.

My interest to further my education was driven by
my passion to provide care to individuals who for
various medical reasons require assistance with their
day to day activities to improve their quality of life.

I get a lot of satisfaction when I know someone who needs my care and attention is happy. It is due to this quest to provide more individualized care in a home setting that led me to start an adult family home where my clients become part of my family.“
