About Maria

Experience: 10 yrs

I have several years of experience taking care of elderly. Most recently I worked 2 years as a live in care taker for a 90-year-old senior who had Alzheimer. My duties with her included the every day duties such as bating, dressing, healthy meal preparation, light housekeeping and keeping company in addition I would take her to doctors appointments, taking vital signs daily, ensured medications were taken as well as doctors instructions. In addition to her having Alzheimer she suffered from Diabetes, arthritis, Glaucoma, high blood pressure and a previous heart operation. We enjoyed each others company and on her good days I would take her to stores to run her errands and to mass every Sunday. I am patient, responsible, kind, ethical, positive attitude, organized, understanding, compassionate, respectful.

Maria cared for my elderly parents from December 2023-February 2024. From our initial meeting, I was impressed with her knowledge of dealing with the elderly and her focus on maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle for them. Maria has a very caring and positive attitude and is very dedicated to her patients. She provided much needed companionship and control of their medications. She always cooked excellent healthy meals for them and prioritized the control of their vitals. She is very knowledgable about nutrition and healthy alternatives. She showed a lot of compassion for my father who has dementia and was very patient listening to his stories. She assisted with his daily care, bathing and dressing. Maria also cared for my mother who had mobility issues and who's health was deteriorating. She showed so much compassion for my mom and tried so hard to help her with pain management. She was extra kind helping my mom with her toileting needs and personal care. Maria has excellent communication skills and always followed up with me, even after hours is she had any concerns. I feel very blessed to have met Maria who genuinely cared about my parents overall well being.
