About Maria

I used to own and managed a board and care business in Anaheim. We sold the business in 2001 to relocate to the Philippines. My husband's father was diagnosed of having thyroid cancer that time. He's cancer free now. We decided to come back ro California in 2009 but by then my husband was opposing to the idea of owning a board and care again. I love to be with elderly people. I'm a medical assistance graduate and worked in medical office for 3 years before owning my board and care. My last client that I was taking care of died last week,Feb.26. I took care of her for almost 6 years in her own home. I took her to all of her doctor's appts. Scheduled everything she needed . She was a great person and I feel lucky to have taken care of her. I enjoyed my time with her. I have a friendly personality and try my best to keep my clients dignity.

    I became a CNA/Caregiver to care for my Parents properly. Then I cared for others too when I was younger. I naturally Care for people, it is very rewarding to me. I like CNA work because I seem to have such a rewarding time with the person I care for. Everyone seems to go so fast in this computer age and it isn't like that when you care for someone. I have been told I calm people, I am fun, I listen, I simply care. I did save a women's life more than once and if a person is happy then it would naturally be they or he or she would have more of a will to be alive. i had a Son that was sick as he was growing up. It was very challenging for me to love someone so much and see him so young. Now I just like to make live's better and I do. My only criteria is that the person is truly nice to be around. Have a Nice Day:).
