Marilyn Oswald Director/Owner

Marilyn and her husband, Rob, purchased the Visiting Angels franchise serving

Kitsap County in 2010 as a direct result of caring for her own mother when she was battling cancer. “The caregivers that helped look after my mom made a world of difference for my family. They took care of the daily chores and provided compassionate personal care to my mom. This allowed me to have peace of mind when I couldn’t be there and my visits weren’t just about doing the laundry and vacuuming. Having caregivers allowed me to be a daughter again, and just enjoy my time with my mom.” We are honored to be able to provide the same service for our clients. We help seniors maintain their independence with a little (or a lot of) help from our excellent caregivers. “I love meeting families and helping them to remain in their own homes. I want to give back to our community and support seniors in our area.”
