Hello! I am Maria, 25 years old, and a native New Yorker! I am also Colombian and speak Spanish in which I can also teach. I work full time in government which means I have clearance and no drug use. I grew up helping take care of a young boy with autism. I was also a paid home-aid for a family member who had muscular dystrophy. I received intensive training from nurses including how to lift a wheelchair bound child, feeding via mouth/ g-tube, cleaning throat ventilation, and changing undergarments. All that to say, I have a lot of patience! I am a quick learner and will accommodate to your style. I look forward to meeting you and help assist with any needs! 3 personality traits: 1. Direct 2. Understanding 3. Friendly
