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 became a caregiver in 2002 and took care of my grandmother until she passed in 2004. My mother is a retired nurse, so taking care and helping people is in the family. I love to help elderly with their daily needs and make them feel safe. I'm proud that I am a nurse assistant, (CNA) and CPR certified and have worked in hospitals, rehab centers, nursing homes, client's home and assisted living and also with dementia and Alzheimer patients. I'm 36 yrs old, very energetic and caring person. I'm honest, loyal, caring, punctual and dependable. I love what I do, always going out of my way to get things done to meet my client's need. I have excellent references and over 13 years of experience . Good driving record, car insured and I passed background check. I follow all the rules and the safety of my client is my number one priority. The most thing I enjoy about my job is to help my clients, making their day and better their lives.
