Care giving for me is not just a job. Having someone in your home is not easy and I try to make it as easy, stress free and enjoyable as possible. I have many years of experience. I have worked with many people both with and without cognitive deficits: all levels of dementia patients, mentally ill, developmentally disabled, MS, stroke victims, CP and other physical disabilities. I am familiar with transferring, bathing, changing and other ADL's. I am college educated and have over 15 years experience in the mental health field. I have managed a small massage therapy company that works with the developmentally disabled in group homes for the past 18 years. I am kind, courteous, punctual and patient. I have a good sense of humor and am well rounded. I love helping people in their homes. And, I can't wait to talk to you!

    Margaret was a conscientious caregiver for my 84 year old mom and retired nurse. She willingly received Covid testing to provide assurances and reinforced her adherence to Covid prevention practices. She was very personable, engaging and efficient. Additionally, she was extremely patient and flexible while bathing my mother or trimming her nails. We would highly recommend her, without reservation.
