Maia C.

Maia was a 24/7 live-in care provider from June 2017 until January 2020 for my mother. Mom just turned 101 and has a lot of age-related challenges. In her capacity as a home care aide, Maia performed a number of tasks including cooking, bathing, helping my mother dress, cleaning the apartment, and doing the laundry. Maia also took my mother to her doctor appointments. Most importantly, Maia proved to be a caring and loving person who was a friend and companion to my mother, and my mother and Maia enjoyed one another's company. Maia's conscientious care of my mother extended to the time my mother was briefly hospitalized and then transferred for a few weeks to a rehab facility. During that time, Maia spent every day with her. When neither my sister nor I could be at the hospital or rehab, Maia was my mother's advocate, making sure that the staff took proper care of her. And when she was dissatisfied with the work of the rehab aide, Maia herself did the work necessary to make sure that my mother was comfortable. If Maia was not by her side, I doubt my mother's recovery would have been so quick and successful. I also believe that my mother is 101 in part due to the excellent care Maia gave to her. Maia stopped working with our family because of family reasons, travel to her home country of Georgia, and Covid. My mother does miss her and she, my sister, and I will always be grateful for the care and companionship she offered mom. Any person who employs Maia will be very fortunate. They will find, as we did, a person who is caring, intelligent, and very committed to providing the best care possible.

Maia cared for my mother, who had cancer, on an hourly basis from July-December 2016. My father was also not well, and she helped him when needed. Maia was professional, and always arrived on time. In addition to helping my mother with personal care, Maia made sure both my parents ate well, even when they didn't have an appetite. I lived near my parents and visited often. On each visit, the house was clean, and my parents looked happy and comfortable. Maia was always on top of the situation. I trusted Maia in my parents' home, and appreciated her kindness. It was very nice to see that when my mother complained of foot discomfort, Maia would massage her feet. Maia stands out from others because she cares and has a good heart. I appreciate that Maia was with me on the difficult road I traveled and I am very thankful and fortunate to have had her as caregiver for my parents.
