About Margaret

I am naturally a caring person and empathise with people in unfortunate situations and are incapacitated due to illnesses. I cared for both my parents in Zimbabwe before they died and understand the stress and anxiety families go through. I became a caregiver by chance when i went to England in 1999 after i lost my job as a Catering Officer at our local University where i was introduced to care giving. Despite earning wages, i feel i am making someone else's life better in circumstances the individual is no longer able to help themselves. I have had a good life , been married for 40 years, raised five decent educated children and have lived in three continents of the world. I have worked as a caregiver on and off in the past fourteen years.

I am a happy, healthy, compassionate, loyal, patient, loving person who found my caregiver calling late in life. I am 66 years old and have been doing this for a little over 12 years and love what I do. I started when a couple different neighbors of mine were ill and didn't have any family to help them. I had my CPR CERT so I said why not and when they were doing better I decided to make this my work. (Experience through: IHSS, CARE.COM, CARELINX & CAMBRIAN HOME CARE) The first client I had was in very bad shape when I met him, diabetes, renal failure, heart failure, living on his own, not keeping up with his meds or taking his insulin properly. I called his Dr. got him on a med schedule and with the right food, TLC and exercise he did quite well. Since then I have had several different clients, one was on hospice and others I took to Dr appts., med Mgmt. , meal prep, errands and companionship. I'm looking now because one of my clients I had been caring for since 2015, unfortunately she passed away early November. I enjoy my work and I work very hard! Thank you so much, Cindy

I have been doing elderly care for over 15 years and my duties are even more advance than a normal caregiver since i have knowledge and experience which only LVN and Nurses do like tubings, insulin shots, catheter care, colostomy bags and many more.
