Here is Jessica’s Story!
"When I first started at Marklund, I had no clue what to
expect. I thought it would just be a job and nothing more. As I
started working I got much more out of Marklund than just a job, I
got a second family. I enjoy every day coming to work and caring for
all the residents. Days when I work I walk in to my name being
shouted with joy by some of the residents and that's an amazing
feeling to know they are happy to see me. It may be hard work
sometimes, but it's more than rewarding. Every day I see the smiles
on the resident's faces and I know I'm doing a good thing. Marklund
is way more than just a job, it's a fun place to work."
