About Vida

I have always wanted to be a caregiver. Back home in Ghana, it was a dream and a reality of mine. I took care of my beloved grandparents at a young age and enjoyed doing it. I loved working and taking care of them and cherished all the life and cooking tips from them. I strongly believed it was what I was meant to do. When God allowed me to move to America, a family friend explained to me that I could take care of other people's grandparents. Ever since I have worked hard to satisfy the families and most importantly the elderly I've worked for.

Always There to Care at New Jersey
I would groom, make their bed, meal preparation, medicine reminder (may have med tray), light housekeeping (dusting, sweeping, mopping, vacuum, wiping up spills to avoid fall risks,) bathroom assistance, walk with them, laundry (dump trash daily/ cans to & from street.) And also I prefer a nonsmoker. Dogs and cats are spectacular.

Hi my name is Maritza Pedro I believe what makes me a great caregiver is that not only do I have 6 years of experience. I started really young at this when I was 20 years old. So therefore for me taking care of our elderly has been the most rewarding experience because I have learn so much and truly love what I do. I give my best by understanding their needs and disabilities that they might have. Taking care of a human is a big responsibility that I do with a lot of love, compassion , dedication and understanding.

I love what I do! I love making a difference in someone's life - if I can make them laugh or smile then I've done my job! If I can get my clients out of the house for shopping, appointments or even lunch then I'm helping them help me! I love making new friends & having everlasting friendships with my clients and their families! For the past 3 years I've been a caregiver for my neighbor's dad (he's 97), I was his morning caregiver (he had round the clock caregiving), I fed him breakfast and lunch, took him to church / bingo every Monday, we did his errands during the week and Fridays we did the library. I really love my job as a caregiver!
