About Margaret

I have spent my entire adult work life helping others. I have worked for nine years with battered women and children and am extremely knowledgeable in the field of domestic violence and the issues involved. In 2014 I retired from the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services after 20 years of service as a Children's Social Worker. During the end of my service, I took FMLA leave to care for my 94 year old mother who passed away in 2015. Caring for her was a gift in my life and after retirement I was hired to work with the elderly with an agency in Los Angeles where I am still employed. I care deeply for my clients and enjoy my work with them. I also have a Bachelors and Masters degree in Psychology. I am hoping to work part time three days a week with my client. I am a good cook, conversationalist, and helper in activities of daily living. I am consistently reliable ,have a valid drivers license and insurance, a current and clear background check (Live Scan) and am registered with the Dept of Social Services as a Home Care Aide.

First and foremost I love my job, I love making a difference in people's lives Secondly I'm a mother who took care of two sweet babies by myself, so since the people we support some times need tenderness, I have all the skills to handle them with care and love Thirdly , I'm very calm and patient person, most of the patients we give care for need to be handled patiently especially those with dementia. And some patients are get problems with adjusting to new care givers in their homes, so me being a professional care giver I have the capacity to fit in and make sure they get comfortable with me.
