About Margaret

I am 47 years old. I am a mother of 6, with the youngest being 20. I am also a "Mimi" to 5 and have two rescue kitties and a big-personalitied pug named Lola. I lost both my parents young and in losing them I feel a deeper appreciation for generations older than mine and the historic and generational knowledge they hold. Everyone should be treated with dignity and respect, no matter what age, and watching my father not receive the care he deserved as a disabled veteran further fuels that desire. I've cared for students age birth thru 21 with special needs for 20 years and am looking for new adventures!

I try to approach life with a sense of humor even when things get rough it helps to try to find the bright side of a situation. I've been taking care of people since my late teens when my grandmother fell ill with cancer. It just turned out to be something I'm good at and that I like doing. The job can be tough but it is also very rewarding. I just enjoy taking care of people.
