Neil Mayo

Neil Mayo remembers the day he made the decision to go into healthcare as a career. As he explained, "When I graduated college with my bachelor's degree I was discussing with my advisor if I wanted to get my masters. We talked healthcare, and I knew healthcare was never going to go away. At the time, pharmaceutical sales was in its heyday, but something inside of me said, 'I don't want to do that, but I want to be in healthcare.'"

Mayo earned both his undergraduate and his masters in healthcare administration from the University of New Haven in Connecticut, then came back to Florida to start his career. He initially worked in IT staffing and recruiting until he got his first opportunity in healthcare, and then he said, "I knew my calling was dealing with seniors." Mayo has been in the private duty sector for 15 years, and when it was time for a change he pointed out, "Senior Nannies had immense upside so that's why I chose them."
