About maria

Try to answer the following: What makes you a great caregiver? Why did you become a caregiver? What do you like about being a caregiver? What is a personal achievement you are proud of? I am a naturally caring person, very positive, happy, helpful, honest, dependable , trustworthy and loving. I learned that I have the ability to become a caregiver right after I took care of my grandmothers, my grandfather and my father in law, it is very fulfilling to help and to put a smile on other peoples life, I fell so proud everyday that I help them do the things that they cannot do anymore. My personal achievement that I can proud of is with my father in law, he said am a great person and he is proud of me and my parents for having me (this for me is the best achievement I accomplished as a person.

My parents were both very involved with volunteering. I learned early on the benefits and rewards of being caring, kind and helping others. My mom lived in her own home until she recently passed away at 98. We had various caregivers for her over the years, and while some were wonderful, there were many more that were not. I treat people the way I would treat my own mother...with respect and dignity. I try to find what brings joy to whomever I'm caring for. Do they like to sing or be sung to, play cards, board games, go for a walk? I can help clean, make meals, get groceries, transport to and from Dr visits and hair appointments or just give a full time caregiver a break. I helped my mom with bathing, grooming and dressing and am willing to learn how you do things. I have a heart of gold when it comes to people who need a little extra help, especially the elderly. I'm reliable, patient, trustworthy and will always show up with a smile. I hope to hear from you....Denise Will also do evening checks after 5:30 p.m. I can make sure your loved one has eaten dinner or I can make them dinner, taken medications, help them get ready for bed, take dog out, make sure doors are secured or just visit. Will stay a min of 3 hours @ $22 an hour. Will help with transportation to and from the hospital and after care from surgery/plastic surgery. I will gladly give you references upon request. P.S. - I should also mention that I'm allergic to cats....sorry!
