About Maria

I am a compassionate, polite, respectful, patient, friendly, positive, loving, caring, cheerful person and caregiver. I have been working as a care home aide since 2017. I chose this career because I love helping people and assist them with their daily activities. With my attention to details, I make sure that clients maintain their schedules and specific rules are followed (e.g. medications, skin checks, showers, exercises). I believe that an excellent caregiver has excellent interpersonal skills and shows empathy and compassion. These are essential to provide excellent quality care. When a caregiver is able to put herself in the clients' shoes, she understands their feelings and their world. I have excellent time management and organizational skills. I make sure that medication is taken on schedule and clients get to appointments on time. I enjoy and appreciate my job very much because I am able to help others on a daily basis. Knowing that a smile on your face can bring joy and happiness to someone else is priceless. The moments when you can reflect back and see how you have helped someone is what caregiving is all about.

I am personable and enjoy being a home care provider. I became a caregiver because I wanted to help others by assisting them with their activities of daily living. I enjoyed caring for many seniors over the years and learned quite a lot from them. I believe I'm a great caregiver because I have had extensive training in a skilled nursing facility as well as in many private homes. I also enjoy seeing the difference that I often make in people's lives. I became a nursing assistant back in 1982 and acquired my Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license at the convalescent hospital where I worked. I then went on to work for several home care agencies and acquired my Certified Home HeaIth Aide (CHHA) license. I have worked as an independent contractor caregiver for years. I am willing to commute for full-time employment. I have great references and will be happy to submit them upon request.
