About Margaret M.
I am a dedicated professional originally from Zimbabwe, where I worked as a salon manager for many years. I relocated to the UK in 2001 and transitioned into a career in care, working in care homes until 2009. Since then, I have been working as a live-in carer, providing personalised and compassionate support to service users.
I am passionate about promoting health, well-being, and safety, with a strong focus on maintaining dignity and fostering independence to enhance the quality of life and integration into society. I hold NVQ Level 3 and Level 5 qualifications in Health and Social Care and am committed to delivering exceptional care tailored to individual needs.
