About Maegan

I'm Maegan I'm 30, going on 45ish, and have two beautiful kids KJae and Dax. Those two have had me on my toes since day one, not so fun all the time ha ha but is one of the reasons I learned of myself many traits required in this field, such as nurturing, empathetic, fast moving ha ha , responsible with such great attention to detail. I'm also very energetic most of the time and am I normally on the go. This brings me to the next two questions, being constantly able to stay busy when in home caretaking is an advantage because there is always something can be done even while you're client is at rest. I own and operate an on the side housekeeping business for going on 15 years, meaning cleaning and cleanliness are a big must for me and my surroundings. I have every intention to keep my client as hygienically clean and properly appearing as well as maintaining a clean sanitary living space. What brought me to caretaking started when I began to have to help my own grandparents and with every day chores and responsibilities and has turned into a passion of mine. My purpose in life is to help, make a difference is a positive aspect in someone's life and with a genuine intention. Caretaking isn't something you do, normally, because of the wage. It's unlivable to be honest for all local companies, it's something you do because "they" need you (clients, families,etc.) and I need them. When I help a client do tasks and they show appreciation as though you just saved their life, that is true care. When I clean the whole home, organize and make things logically easier for them and help them to get worry less about the mundane daily stuff and relax and elevate their quality of life, and they love you for it, that makes me feel as if my purpose in life has been fulfilled. I love helping and making a difference, basically. Ha ha
