About Maria

Hello, my name is Maria Orozco, I first began practicing caregiving by helping an acquaintance with her sister with special needs. During this time I realized that I could apply to work officially as a caregiver. I am a person who has a heart of compassion, patience, self- sacrificing, loving, considerate, dedicated, hardworking etc... It comes easy to me to help those in need and it brings me great pleasure and joy to bring a smile on the patient's face. At one time I worked as an educator in Catholic schools. I enjoyed teaching and guiding students for 12 years but after that there was a turning point in my life which was to work as a caregiver. When my mother became very ill, my family and I knew that she would be needing assistance all the time, so I chose to stop working in order to help her while my brother and sister helped me financially! I loved my mother so much I never regretted staying home to help her until she passed away.
