About Margaret

I became a caregiver after nursing my husband to his death. (cancer) I later nursed my mother to her final days as well. Without my husband operating our business was too much for me alone so I attended school and became a CERTIFIED HOME HEALTH AIDE. My dog is a Therapy Canine and we visit a long term care facility together. I appreciate the independent schedule allowed with this work and the company of my patients. In my off hours I attend as many yoga classes as possible.

    Mrs. Anita Micallef
    I have worked and will continue to work part time for Mrs. Micallef and her children. Her son is now 8 years old extremely precocious in the 'gifted' program at school. Her daughter is now 4 years old a true delight and I have cared for her since her birth. These children love to come to my house and don't want to leave. I feed, bath, play with, take on nature walks and teach them about natural science, swim with but do exert some discipline. We play numerous games, Hearts, Crazy 8's, Go Fish, do puzzles and of course the 'computer'. I prepare meals, baths and teethbrushing as well as supervise.

    Great Lakes Medical Equipment / Kelly Anderson
    I lived in and enjoyed the companionship of an elderly woman with a broken hip and fractured vertebrae. The hip had mended but not ideally. Janie used a walker as long as she was able. My duties included assistance with all Activities of Daily Living, some ROM exercises and late in the case positioning. Toileting, bathing, skin care, temp., pulse, respirations, as well as housekeeping, meal prep, laundry, shopping, pharmacy runs, transportation and assistance in my vehicle until medical transport was necessary and than I accompanied the patient in that vehicle. This was a terminal case and still makes me sad.
