About Margaret
Experience: 8 yrs
I'm a compassionate and trustworthy senior companion/caregiver with expertise in caring for persons with early, mid, and late Alzheimer's and other types of dementia I'd describe my personality as fun, empathetic, committed I like caring for seniors because they deserve it I'm looking for a job that will allow me to make a positive difference for the family of the loved one who is suffering. Think of me as Mary Poppins without the umbrella For the past 5 years, I've been helping a 62-year-old man with advanced Alzheimer's. I take care of bathing, toileting, meals, medication and keeping him engaged In my spare time, I like to paint, read, birdwatch and play with our two corgis Cholly and Moses. One thing you should know about me is I tend to get attached to the patients and families I care for My skills include ability to - prioritize safety - identify changes in behavior - recommend activities that might help your loved one enjoy the day
Most recent review
There needs to be more than 5 stars to tell you how talented and generous Margaret is. She’s cared for my husband who has Alzheimer’s going on 5 years now, adapting seamlessly to his ever increasing needs, at times noticing changes before I did. I trust and love her like family. He has always been safe with Margaret, and so much more. She knows intuitively just the right thing to say or do for both him and me as we’ve walked these years of progressing disease together. There is no way I could have kept him home with me this long without her support, emotional as well as physical. Margaret is a true gem and I promise you, you will not regret engaging her with your loved one.
