About Maria

Experience: 15 yrs

Hello, my name is Maria (47 yrs old in PDX), and I've worked in senior care and hospice for over 18 years, starting as a visiting CNA in 1995 with Group Health Cooperative and Providence Hospice of Seattle. While I specialize in pallative/ hospice care (certified end-of-life doula), my experience spans a wide range of clients, including rehab, Parkinsons/MS, Alzheimers/dementia, wound care, pediatric, and paraplegic. Additionally, I'm a great cook and loving companion for those that just need a helping hand with short-term care. With 2 decades of experience as an in-home nurses aide, I possess extensive knowledge in cultural/religious practices, medical equipement/devices, medication and symptom management, restricted diet meal prep, wound care and prevention, and care coordination. I genuinely look forward to learning more about your individual needs.

During the last 4 years of my mother’s life, we hired several caregivers. Maria was with us for her last several months and she was the best of the best. Kind, caring, attentive, she loves keeping busy, has a sweet yet firm and caring manner. Maria is highly intelligent and knowledgeable with tons of experience. If I could, I would clone her and give her to every person who needs extra care. She is a treasure.
