About Maria-Elena

Hello! I am 24 years old and although I do not have a CNA license I have had 5+ years experience working one on one with special needs adults. I am very active and love the outdoors so my clients are never bored. I take care of myself and my family very well I am a good house keeper, excellent cook, and I am very responsible. I can take my clients to their appointments on time, make sure they take their medication and are well cared for. SAFETY is my number one concern, happiness is a close second. I want to expand my caregiving to the elderly. We can learn so much just by talking to them.
