About Maria

I enjoy working with the elderly because I feel like many elderly people are not treated like they should be. I have seen this where many elderly people are not treated with the respect and care that they deserve. Many people are there just to collect a paycheck. I enjoy their company and feel like as if I would want my parents to be treated if I couldn't take care of them. I started working with the elderly in order to also take care of my parents. I have the patience to be there and try to understand and meet their needs. They have to be treated with compassion and understanding just as if at times your are dealing with a child. If you don't have the love and understanding for a child you will not be able to work as a caregiver. I have worked at other jobs but I left to continue with eldercare cause I felt like I had more to offer them. I have always tried my best to make them feel loved and know that I was giving them the best care and companionship that I could give them.

I always give 100% and do the best job I can, with no exceptions or excuses. I also try to bring a sense of humor to my work. If I can add a smile or laugh to a client’s day, that means a lot to me. It is important to laugh. One of the best qualities as a caregiver is my ability to be empathic. I understand that my client may feel vulnerable, scared, confused and uncomfortable, and being able to identify and allay these fears can create a sense of calm and trust for those being cared for.

I became a caregiver after volunteering for Hospice and realizing I had a passion for helping others. I really enjoy knowing that as a caregiver I can enrich the lives of so many people and help them live comfortably in their homes when their loved ones aren't able to provide the assistance needed. I also like knowing that I can be a part of allowing seniors to live their life to the fullest regardless of all the hurdles that aging and diseases can bring. I have been a caregiver for about 11 years now I have learned and grown so much as I have been exposed to many different conditions and situations such as dementia, Parkinson's, and diabetes. One of my greatest personal achievements aside from obtaining my CNA certification has been how much I have learned about Hospice and working with people in the end of life stage or with terminal illnesses. One thing I know for sure regardless of the years of experience or education I have earned towards my caregiving career I was born with a caring and compassionate heart that will be the main driving force to the excellent customer service you'll experience when I am the caregiver for your loved one. I am deeply passionate about helping others and I truly feel I have been placed on this earth to make a difference. I truly believe in \"doing small things with great love\" it is the motto I stive for everyday.
