About Margarita

In my years of work history I have enjoyed caring for others well being in all facets. Ensuring that I render care that I would expect if I were in the same circumstance. It feels rewarding to nurture and care for those individuals with genuine concern in a time when health and mental issues are at bay. When I was young I cared for my grandmother till she passed on. It felt good to know that she was in a loving and caring environment until she passed on. At this time I work 2 part-time jobs. For Right At Home I work with the aged. I also work privately with a handicap lawyer. Two years ago as I was entering his premises for work, he was having a stroke. I immediately called 911. Expressing how urgent he needed attending. They arrived in 10 minutes. His blood pressure was over 295. It's a miracle this man is alive. I am thankful I knew what to do to save him. Continuing to work as a caregiver is by choice because I sincerely appreciate assisting my clients be as self sufficient as possible. My motto is (Their success is my success).
