Margaret R.

Maggie has been with our family from about October 2010 and will finish with us this summer because we are moving. My husband travels a lot and I rely on Maggie heavily to help me at home. She has not only been completely reliable but she remains steadfast and calm in what can be a somewhat challenging situation at times. Maggie takes care of my son every day and she prepares meals for him (and me) each day. Maggie does our groceries, and is very happy to help me by running errands. She does some light housework and I know if I asked for more she would do so. She puts her heart and soul into what she does and is continually thinking up ideas on how to help me. Maggie supports me not just in taking care of my son, but in every aspect - for example, I am new to this type of climate and she helped me organize for my driveway to be plowed and she checked on my during the blizzard. She gives me a lot of moral support and she has become like a part of our family. Maggie is dependable as any person I have ever met. She has had to be very flexible in this role and she goes along with this without batting an eyelid. Having being a teacher for so many years has been invaluable in the way she is able to explain homework. I will miss Maggie terribly. I have come to rely on her heavily and I feel like she has become part of our family. She has really "looked after us" and I wish we could clone her! Maggie has truly helped me and has lightened the burden on my shoulders considerably. She's a good person and well intentioned. How such a big heart fits in such a tiny body I'll never know. I would be happy to expand on this in person if need be. Melissa
