Margarita Pillot
CHCA Caregiver-Owner
I have worked at CHCA for 12 years and have cared for many clients with different ailments.
My current client is 95 years old, and all the experience that I’ve had and skills that I’ve learned allowed me to take great care of my clients and problem solve situations when needed regarding their care.
[…] I want to be an inspiration to other home care workers, and encourage them to learn more about worker ownership or becoming a worker-owner.

CHCA trainees at [location]
CHCA has given me the opportunity to be independent, to be able to raise my children with a decent and comfortable job.
Being a worker-owner opened a very large door. I have the opportunity to do other things within the company such as working in the Board of Directors.
