About Maria

Hello! My name is Maria. I am young and knowledgable, lively, a fast learner, time-efficient, and always wanting to go the extra mile for my "family". I am pursuing nursing which has been my dream since I was in High School. Being a caregiver has become something that is home for me. Over the past three years, I have experience taking care of those in a skilled-living facility with individuals who were diagnosed with Alzheimer's, dementia, schizophrenia, and those who were undergoing rehabilitation . I have worked one-on-one with someone who has trache units and even worked on learning the best ways to communicate with them. I took time away from working in facilities to take care of my grandma who was on hospice in my family's living room after undergoing radiation therapy. After my personal experience at home, I realized what makes a great caregiver. Which was to treat them as if they were your own family member. I don't have a big family, so coming into this field I see it as an opportunity to expand the family I get to have around me.
