About Maryanna

My name is Maryanna and I have been taking care of seniors now for over 15 years. I am looking to change back into private care. I live here in Tacoma in the North End. Its just me and my husband now as both of our parents have passed. I am a very passionate and caring person and relate very well with the elderly. I love to talk about all types of subjects and life itself. Also I am a clean freak :) with keeping things in order and clean and tidy. My references are not posted but I can get them upon request. I am drug free and have all the papers and documents as a caregiver. I would like to meet with you and your loved one and have a one on one conversation. After resigning from my job of 10 years to take care of my own elderly parents, I found it to be a new career choice. After caring for my parents in my home for 5 years. I went into the assisted living field of caregiving. I have found that my passion is to be able to work with the elderly so they can stay in their own home. This is what I did for my parents and with the cost of being in a private assisted living is so expensive, it puts so much more stress on the loved one's family. I have a passion for animals, cooking, gardening and would love to be able to help the elderly continue their passion as well. I see myself as : Promoting positive behaviour Culturally-sensitive Personable and friendly First Aid and CPR Certified Hospice care experience Compassionate caregiver Companionship and emotional support Trustworthy companion Patient-focused care Communication skills Commitment to quality and service Dementia and Alzheimer's knowledge Mother of 3 Grandmother of 2 Good Listener Gentle Hands Calm Voice Caring Spirit Gardening Pet Lover Tidy Great references upon request. My available hours are Monday-Friday 8:00-6:00. Thanks, Maryanna

What a great caregiver means to me is to be able to show empathy and compassion toward the clients and families that I work with. By taking the time to fully understand my patient's needs and giving them the patience to work through their rehabilitation at their own pace, I show them that I care about them and that I want to do what I can to help them. I become a caregiver because I enjoy working with people. I love helping the individuals and their families to create the tailored care that is needed. I also enjoy working with the elderly in overcoming the difficulties associated with their health issues and helping them maintain their highest level of Activities Daily Living. The most satisfying part about being a caregiver is knowing that my clients and I foster a bond that makes me feel like a part of their family. In addition, the trust that my client's family put in me to ensure that their love ones are safe and taken care of is quite rewarding. I know how it helps the family feel at ease. One of my personally favorite achievements I'm proud of was helping one of my post-surgery clients at home with PT and OT; and enabling her to walk with a cane again instead of being restricted to a wheelchair.
