I am a 51-year-old woman, I am mature, compassionate, and very responsible. I have over eight years of experience in caring for the elderly, Some of the daily tasks I have executed have been preparation of medications, preparing meals, managing appointments, paying bills, driving to and from appointments. Assisting in daily activities: such as walking, exercising, making sure they kept their minds occupied. I am also animal friendly and familiar with domestic animals such as cats and dogs. I have preformed the following tasks, of giving them their medications as well as walking and feeding them, taking them to their veterinary appointments and caring for their well being. In addition to this I have over 25 + years experience in house keeping and as a personal assistant. Making sure everything ran smoothly in a household. From cleaning, and doing laundry to vacuuming, grocery shopping etc. In essence my purpose is to facilitate your life as best as I can. I am also CPR Certified
There is only one Maria in the caregiver world. If you are lucky enough to have Maria take care of a loved one, you have literally won the lottery. Maria is kind, warm, empathetic, industrious, and committed to taking the best possible care of my mom. What truly sets Maria apart is her ability to think ahead and anticipate future challenges, needs, and opportunities. For example, she recommended a shower chair for safety and better transport methods for my mom. She hits every target for administering meds and makes sure we never run out of vital supplies. Perhaps most importantly, Maria has exceptional communications skills and the ability to be a true companion. My mom can talk to Maria endlessly throughout the day, and my mom gets great joy from these daily interactions with Maria. We discovered Maria on this website almost one year ago, largely on the basis of her strong reviews which proved highly accurate. Since that time, Maria has developed a huge fan base, to include all six of my mom's grandchildren, my mom's closest friends, and many resident's in my mom's community. To say Maria is like an "adopted daughter" in our family would not be an exaggeration--she is a trusted and highly respected member of our extended family. And we are truly fortunate to have crossed paths with Maria.
