About Maria

I became a caregiver because I love to help people in any situation that really need the help. I like that It makes me feel good knowing that I can help someone that is in need. One thing that I am proud of is my ability to deal with patients in a way that is caring and makes them feel special. For example, once I had a patient that became very aggressive because she hadn't taken her medicine and I was able to calm her down by talking to her and giving her a big hug letting her know that I cared for her and that she was very special to me. I am a very humanitarian person, I also like to work with people that need my help by protecting them and making them feel very important and valuable to our society.

I chose to be a caregiver because of my experience looking after my parents who have suffered heart attacks and strokes. I have also worked multiple careers primarily based on providing care and comfort to others. At the age of 34 I spent 5 years as a nanny to 3 different families. I was required to drive the children to and from school, make them breakfast and dinner, and provide overall care until their parents returned home. I then spent 10 years as an American Airlines flight attendant. My tasks included ensuring the safety, comfort, and enjoyment of each passenger. This would be done through multiple check ups, and constantly asking the passengers if they wanted anything, like food or beverages. My compassion for people has lead me to choosing a career in care giving. I genuinely love people and life and look on the bright side of things. I am honest and reliable and look forward to becoming great at my job. I intend to continually learn and grow.

My name is Guadalupe Santos, I'm a caregiver for over 13 years. My first job as a caregiver was at 18 since my mother is a very good nurse and I always saw her as an example to follow. Since then I love what I do, helping people is very rewarding for me. Reliability, respect, care and attention to people is the first thing in my work. that's why I chose this profession
