Callie Martinez, Care Coordinator

Originally from Grays Harbor, Callie has worked as a licensed caregiver since 2005. Before joining FirstLight as Care Coordinator in 2015, Callie was the Assistant Manager at Olympic Home Care.

However, it was caring for her mother until she passed away that introduced Martinez to what would become her professional calling. A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Callie expects such high standards from the caregivers she trains and supervises because she knows the people we care for at FirstLight, like her mother, deserve to be treated with compassion, dignity and respect.

Callie has six children. She also speaks fluent Spanish.
