About Maria

I have been a caregiver for many years and working in this field providing assistance and support to family members, acquaintances, or seniors who have physical, psychological, or developmental needs. Most of them need require a great deal of emotional support, which may include listening, counseling, and companionship. I enjoy providing caregiving services to those that would otherwise not be able to do so. Only one smile on their faces or a simple sweet glance is rewarding for me because it's the way they appreciate my work, and an encouragement to continue helping them and helping others who need it.

    My personality is one of great patience and compassion. I can adapt to any given situation easily. My companion skills are such that I can hold a conversation for hours or simply listen knowing this is an important asset to many seniors. Additionally 15 + years of administrative experience allows me to assist with office, paperwork, accounting, communication, etc. when needed. I retired from the office environment and enjoy the satisfaction that Caregiving allows.
