About Margaret

The traits that I have as a caregiver is that I have a good disposition, a non-argumentative temperament, and I have the ability to deal with stress and I have a compassionate nature. What attracted me to being a caregiver is that I love helping and taking care of others. I enjoy being a caregiver because I enjoy working with people and I most enjoy jobs where you have one-on-one interaction with others. The personal achievements that I am most proud of are attaining two degrees and also writing my first novel this year,

I am unique I have experience and I am compassionate for elders that are in need. Empathy is something else I bring to the table I am all for the client. When I was a child my grandmother became sick and needed assistance from caregivers they treated her well, furthermore she was an LPN and only wanted the best interest for her patients. I thought it would be great to help elders also have a positive mind set even on a not so good day. Have patience and listen. I must be reliable for my client and the family there is a job that needs to be done and I want them to know they can depend on me. I am trustworthy and honesty is a must. I've watched aides help my grandmother from 1996 to 2004 and they showed me things everyday they came so I would be able to help out myself when they are not there. I started working in home care 2009 after graduating school for medical assisting. I bring great work ethics love and care. Everyone needs someone to depend on and that is me. Thank you

In short, I chose to work as a caregiver because it has always been a dream of mine and since caring for people comes naturally to me and what more can you ask for professionally than to do something you love. *What make me happy about being a caregiver is the ability to make my client feel cared for. *I am personally proud of the friends I have made so far. I am happy to know that there is someone I out there that I have succeeded in touching their life one way or the other.
