About Margaret Ann

My personality trait(s) are many, I love people, very compassionate about helping others, and have over 30 plus years of experience in the field of Geriatrics. My compassion for those sick and hurting led me to become a caregiver, wherever I can bring comfort and assistance. I get a fulfillment from knowing at the end of my shift I have brightened someone's day, assisted him/her in whatever need they had and made it better. This is very satisfying for me both spiritually and physically. I was my family's caregiver for most and put my education on hold, I completed my Bachelor's in Health Care Administration a couple of years ago, and now working toward my Masters, so proud of myself, even at this time in my life. Firmly believe in persevering.
