About Maryjo

I have taken care of all the elderly in my family and some of their friends, I moved from TX to FL and looking to do the same I have been doing for the past 15 years as a paid caregiver. I am very patient with old ladies and know how to take care of their needs. The caregiver job is to make them feel comfortable and sometimes keep them company and depending upon the person have a little fun and have a nice time. I took care of a lady who was in a coma for a year and always talked to her and keep her looking her best. She woke up and told me she knew that somebody was talking to her and telling her stories. Never allowed her to get bed sores or neglected her. I am a professional sanitarian with a M.S and know how important to keep their area clean is. I have travel extensively, I am bilingual English and Spanish and like to read and write also I have a passion for old cultures, history, movies and Precolumbian art.

    My interest in caregiving started at an early age. Every sunday after church I would visit the sick and shut in members and others who requested prayers. I then attended a Medical Specialty High School and was involved in volunteering at local Adult Day Cares. When I was about 15 years of age my grandmother started developing Dementia and shortly after had a stroke. I became her main caregiver; cooking, cleaning, reading to her when not in school. I love the fact that I get to make a difference in someones day to day life. I tried many different ventures and always ends back into caregiving. This is what I'm meant to do and I'm good at it and enjoy doing it.
