About Peggy

My career has been in medical assisting for over 20 years. I enjoy working with people and helping in any way I can. I am CPR and First-Aid Certified. I have excellent references , have alot of patience and care for the people around me. I cared for my mother who had an Alzheimers, Parkinsons condition. My other skills include cooking, cleaning and running errands. I am very reliable and punctual. I most recently have worked with a woman with Alzheimers and a woman with congestive heart failure. I am currently doing companion care for the same Alzheimers patient two days a week-it has been two years now. Thank you for your consideration.

Hello. I have been a caregiver in Oakmont, an adult community in Santa Rosa since June 2015. I have worked with clients who suffered strokes, falls, dementia, cancer, back surgeries and just about everything in between. Any one of these families would happily give me an excellent reference-- so please do check my references. Prior to Oakmont, I worked for different hospices in Walnut Creek and San Luis Obispo while raising my family. I genuinely enjoy working with clients in their final stages of life. They have taught me so much about how to live fully despite the inevitable limitations of aging. Some days are better than others for all of us. On the tougher days, I try to keep everyone focused on appreciating the here and now. I also like to keep clients active both physically and mentally, if possible. I enjoy preparing meals loaded with fresh fruits and greens and I make a mean stew too.

I've became a caregiver because I enjoy helping other people and see them happy, also because I have a child with specials needs. I like to know that I'm trusted to get a job a done plus go the extra mile to make sure my client is happy and satisfy.My main goal while doing inhome support is to not only be a good worker but also a friend.I love to cook, i like working in gardens and love animals.I'm a very compassionate person and I always do extra to ensure the job is done and I didn't skip a beat. Being a caregiver for 19 years has helped me in so many ways, I have worked in Nursing home Facilities, Private Duty, etc. I love what I do in helping each client I've ever worked with. Taking care of people in need that needs my help gives me joy in my heart and it lets me know they need people to work with them that care. I also specialize in special needs adult and children with a variety of conditions.
