About Maria

Sensing the needs of others and finding creative ways to meet them has been my lifelong passion and purpose. I have over 20 years of caregiving experience with children, ran my own massage business for 17 years and in recent years I've worked with people with developmental disabilities and seniors with dementia. My flexible personality and emotional awareness allow me to connect with people easily and adjust to the kind of companionship each individual prefers. My goal will be to keep us in the present moment, free of past regret and future worry by creating experiences that engage our senses with pleasing sights, sounds, and smells. I love taking people out into the community and doing the activities they enjoy. I'm willing to do chores and organize, and I love to cook and make healthy food tasty. I'm continually educating myself to improve my caregiving skills and grateful to have found work honoring my elders and bringing joy to their golden years.
