About Mariaruth

I was a surgical nurse back home in the Philippines for 12 years and I really love doing care for an individual since I oath to preserve and save lives, I became a caregiver since I got here in United States because my mother inspires me to do the job because she's a caregiver too for more than a decade now. I am currently working as a care manager at Sunrise Senior Living,it had made me equipped, well-skilled and well-rounded caregiver in terms of giving care to a group of residents who's having different kinds of behaviors. And also,I used to care for my grandmother who has dementia when she was still living before for almost 10 years. Doing this kind of job and caring for elderly people gives me a certain fulfillment while preserving their dignity and pride despite of their memory impairment and I see to it that every time I do care for seniors I always work with my heart.

    I started out caregiving when I took care of my grandmother and that was in 1986, she had pancreatic cancer she was such a trooper. To make my patients feel comfortable is number one whether a smile or running errands, doctors appointments, and always make them feel secure and respected In their life. I love to make them feel comfortable. My personal achievement is to make them happy and comfortable, to be that ear and listen to their stories. I feel that companionship is very important! I am a caring person and I also speak Spanish, Family oriented.

    I am naturally caring and compassionate person; doing just so will give me the sense of ability, that I am providing a very important & really good support to the person I am caring for. A personal achievement for me was when one of the toughest person I am taking care of stated that I just made him feel important and apologizes for being mean and asked me to take care of him from that day on. And when I simply cover them with blanket while sleeping and says to you " Your such a sweet person and thank you for taking care of me every night ". And that feeling of warmth fulfilment when I simply put a smile and genuine laugh when they see me. Those are huge accomplishments for me because at the end of the day, I go to sleep smiling knowing that - I just made someone's day. It made me feel driven to do more the next day and repeat. I am hardworking, caring, compassionate, patient, understanding, dependable, reliable and flexible and a sucker for life stories. I had worked at Assisted Living and Memory Care Community for more than 7 yrs & as a Personal Care Assistant and Medication Technician. I had been an independent Caregiver for more than 10 years & counting. I am my own boss :) and I have several individuals that I care for. I assisted individuals on their daily living routine i.e. Dressing, grooming, bathing, escorting, preparing their meals, assisting on their medication management. Assistance on incontinence care example changing their depends, emptying urinal and catheter. Light housekeeping and companionship. Post-op Surgery Care. My services could simply be as follows: picking lunch/dinner, assistance on taking medications including insulin or checking sugar levels, making meals, running errands, giving rides to medical appointments, hair appointment And/or shopping & walking/exercise. Most importantly companionship and friendship develops. My rate is negotiable depending on services needed. Please do not hesitate to message me for any questions.
