About Maria

I am a very patient and understanding person who strives to provide the elderly with compassionate care and attention. I started caring for the elderly because it is a profession that allows me to earn a living while providing comfort to elderly persons and their families. I really enjoy taking care of the elderly because it reminds me of how I cared for her during the last days of her life and provided her with comfort. I am very proud to have cared for the last elderly lady I cared for because for three years I made her life comfortable and kept her company while also providing tranquility to her family who lived out of state.

Helen De Valle

Provided in-home care services to an elderly lady on a full time basis until she passed away. I assisted her during bathroom visits and showers to prevent her from injuring herself. I prepared her well-balanced meals. I helped organize her daily intake of medications and would make sure to order her medication on time. I accompanied her to doctors' visits. I also performed light housekeeping to keep her living quarters clean and comfortable.
