About Maria

Hello, my name is Maria, I am 44 years old. I recently moved to Illinois from California and am looking forward to continuing to care for a person in need. I've been providing care for the elderly for about 3 years. My first experience was caring for my 88 year old grandmothers everyday needs. I helped with feeding, bathing, medications, light housekeeping and was there for companionship. I also cared for an elderly couple, 24 hours a day 5 days a week, for 7 months in 2017. I helped with meal preparation, transportation, light housekeeping, medication reminders and was there for companionship, and anything else that arose. Currently I am working with several clients, but am looking for something more permanent. Being a caregiver gives me the satisfaction of knowing I am making someone's life easy and comfortable. I am proud of successfully raising my three children whom are loving, caring, and respectful, which I think is a reflection on my character. I am looking forward to working with a loving family, and assure you that I will care for your loved one as if they were my own. I am available Monday-Friday and am hoping to continue providing assistance to a person in need.

I work with my heart. I care for people as if they were my own mother and father. I started this work because I knew I would like it. I am very proud that the 97 year old man I cared for became more happy and healthy with my cooking, my smiling and my joking. He and his family were so happy with me. Another woman only sat in her chair and said "I want to go to bed" all the time, before I came. A week after staying with her, she was going out in her wheelchair, eating at the table, and she and her family were so much more happy. It makes me happy to help people have a better life, especially elderly people, who mostly need love.
