About Maria

Experience: 5 yrs

I am listed as both a childcare provider and a senior caretaker. I am a mother of one daughter. I've taken care of children my entire life. I have 11 nieces and nephews! I worked with three families in childcare. I took care of a woman with Alzheimer's, and an elderly gentleman. I cared for both of my parents. My mother suffered from Alzheimer's and my father had a stroke. I would love to be a companion to a senior, helping them with their daily needs, whether it be a ride to the grocery store, visit to the doctor, cooking a meal, light housekeeping, reading with them, or just talking. I do not do bathing, physical care in the bathroom, or lifting, I also advocated for a sister with Downs Syndrome. I will bring compassion, care, creativity, and love into the home of a senior in need, or with childcare. My previous professional background is as an administrative assistant in the legal field. I am also a published author and artist. I love to cook, bake,- all things, domesticated.

We hired Maria for close to one year as companion care for our 74 year-old mother with Alzheimer's disease and Maria was truly amazing. She is extremely reliable, caring and a very warm person. Maria took excellent care of our mother and essentially became part of the family. Our mother really looked forward to spending time together with Maria and they became very close friends. It really helped our family through a difficult time as we were learning to navigate the disease ourselves. We would strongly recommend Maria for other families in a similar situation. She is excellent!
