About Maria

Hello, I just wanted to take a little time to explain to you my passions about being a caregiver. I love the interaction with families and their loved ones. Even if the person I am caring for does not have family support that makes my interaction with them more valuable. I enjoy working with many people of different cultures, because I am always gaining better insight on how to properly care for a variety of unique individuals. It disturbs me to see anyone being mistreated and neglected. My goal is to always enhance the experience of receiving care. It is too often forgotten that it can be a very difficult adjustment for those that are use to caring for themselves or for those that are use to someone in particular caring for them but for many reasons may no longer be able to do so.

    I am a caregiver with more than 18 years of experience with seniors and people with special needs. I provide safe, respectful, loving, skilled care towards every one of my patients. I will deliver peace of mind to family members by keeping their loved ones safe while also protecting their independence and preserving their dignity. I give detailed information and pay close attention to my clients and to the families' needs. I have taken care of many people from family members, friends, and clients in facilities to group home members and privately cared for patients. Whatever the needs may be, I strive to go above and beyond my call of duty. Life is a treasure and if I can provide life or encouragement to anyone, or let them know that they are still loved and living with grace and dignity, I am that Angel. Many people lose their independence and feel lost. I can give clients, as well as their families, peace of mind knowing that things will work out fine. I have CPR/First Aid certification, Certified Home Health Aide, Certified Nurses Aide (CNA), Certified Medical Aide (CMA), am a residential counselor, provide individual service/support plans, behavior plans, & have experience with dysphasia, Alzheimer's & Dementia and much more. I have achieved more than 50 certificates and extensive training over the last decade. All families need a break from the worry and stress of caring for loved ones. Please call me to talk about what I can do for your family!

    Hello My name is Ishe-ka Holley and I simply love what I do for a living, I found myself pursuing this occupation as a CNA after my father took sick for some time and then later years passed away. That experience gave me the heart to help people in need, I initially love assisting others from the very beginning but something about that experience pushed the love for helping others to be a big part of my heart! I am also a college student studying in the field of Healthcare Management, as you can see I love being involved in the healthcare industry.
