About Maria
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello, my name is Marita. I'm a certified Home Health Aide with 14 years of experience caring for seniors, including a full year of 24/7 live-in care for a client with dementia. I specialize in dementia and Alzheimer's care, managing difficult behaviors with patience and calm redirection. I use simple language to reduce anxiety, and use music, photos, and quiet walks to keep clients calm and engaged. I keep families regularly updated on their loved one's condition and any changes I notice. I'm bilingual (English/Spanish), and most of my positions have been long-term, ending only when a client relocated or passed away - I build real trust with the families I work with. I'm based in the Palm Bay/Melbourne area and available 24/7, including live-in positions. I'd love to meet you and your loved one to see if we're a good fit. I have references and certifications ready to share. I look forward to hearing from you. Marita
Most recent review
Marita took care of both my parents for a few years. Mom had advanced dementia and dad had diabetes and a heart condition and she treated them both with so much care and love. She treated them like her own parents. I never had to worry when she was working the shift Anybody who hires her will not regret it. She also cooks amazing which is an added bonus and my dad was a foodie, and we get so excited when she was working because he knew he was going to eat a good meal. She is reliable and picked up extra shifts as needed to cover , when other aids were not able to fulfill their shifts, due to illness, etc. she was responsible and most of all she has a lot of compassion and treated mom with such gentleness and tenderness as dementia is a very challenging disease. My parents have since passed and I miss my parents and I did Marita very much , Marita is an excellent Home Health Aide‘s, and I highly recommend her to your loved ones.
