Let me introduce myself. My name is Margo and I reside in Elk Grove. I have been living here for a about a year coming from Eugene, Oregon where I was a personal assistant for several clients. My last client was for a gentleman and I was with him for approximately 3 years beginning in 2006 ending at his passing in 2009. I did basic household duties - meal planning, shopping, bill paying, banking, correspondence, vacation and travel planning. I also coordinated medical appointments and met with medical personnel upon his request. As his health declined I did assist him with more of his personal needs such as dressing, bathing, shaving, showering, and bed to wheelchair transfers etc. While I was under his employment I was also attending culinary school. Starting in 2006, I started my own home based business in Oregon. I was a Personal Chef and Organic lifestyle gardener and teacher. Other clients included a gentleman who had a traumatic brain injury. I was a part of an extensive team helping him through a very difficult time. My duties included helping with physical therapy, speech therapy, cognitive work, and all round go to girl. Another client was a disabled woman and I was her caregiver. Duties included personal grooming, dressing, companionship, and helping her with everyday life. I have been trained in CPR and first-aid/first responder. My certificates expired in Oct of 2009 but I would be willing to get updated if necessary. I am 52 years old, very strong and fit. I hold a current Oregon drivers license and I have a perfect driving record for over 35 years. I am a very detail oriented person; very honest, reliable, flexible and discreet.
