About Maria

Experience: 10 yrs

For several years I worked in local facilities as well as a Recreation Therapist/Activities Director with the elderly population suffering from dementia / Alzheimer's disease. Both of my parents are elderly, and have had MANY years of helping to care for them. I live in Vestal, and am looking to work part time again possibly in a home setting. I LOVE elderly people, and have been an advocate my entire life seeing to it that they are treated with the utmost respect. I have a very caring personality, and offer great compassion to those who cannot do for themselves.
