About Darrell

Hi my name is Darrell, I have been a caregiver for over 10 years. Prior to becoming a caregiver I was an assistant preschool teacher for 2 years. My first 5 years as a Caregiver I've worked with individuals who were physically and mentally challenged. I also served as a live in supervisor for one year in a group home setting with three individuals. From 2016 to present day, I've mainly been working with elderly individuals right in their own homes or senior home setting. I provide a wide range of services from companionship, daily living needs, to running errands, and appointments etc. I'm very attentive and willing to adapt to the specific needs of any individual I come in contact with. In general I simply enjoy helping others in need of assistance and feel like this is has been my calling for many years now, this is the main reason why I chose to become a caregiver. I aim to go above and beyond the expectations of whomever I may get the opportunity to assist.

Hello, My name is Margaret. I laugh alot and I take my Clients very seriously. I am one person who love her work. I provide care to my recipients as I would love to be served, uncompromised care. My Clients means alot to me because I understand that I feed my family from what they pay me. Therefore, I sherish them and treat them with due respect. I have a background where I took care of my Grandfather for two good years, when he fell and became hemipledgic. I have loved taking care of Seniors ever since. 1993. In 2004, I did my CNA, and I have worked as a caregiver ever since. I have seen Seniors go through geriatric challenges and I have been a very close person to them, until when they leave this word. I have learnt to love and to provide care and support that they deserve until their last day. I am not bragging, but I have been a good friend to anyone who fell in my hands as a recipient. I have mostly done Private Care and also through Agencies. I enjoy what I do.
