Experience: 10 yrs
Hi! I am an experienced, business-minded private caregiver with a passion for being a voice for those without one. I started as a CNA in 1993, specializing in nursing homes, advanced dementia, and Alzheimer's care. After a 10-year break running my own retail and restaurant businesses-which taught me expert scheduling and leadership skills-I returned to my true calling. Over the last 8 years, I have specialized in high-acuity private adult care:• ALS Specialized Care (6 years): Managed deep companion, respiratory, and mobility support.• Complex Case Management (2 years): Provided total physical transfers, G-tube fluid care, and neurological/behavioral support (Parkinson's & TBI).• Lead Coordinator: Managed a 24-hour, 5-person rotation, handling all hiring, scheduling, and medication setups. I am patient, reliable, fully background-checked, and incredibly dedicated to those I care for. I bring organizational excellence and deep dignity into the homes I serve. References available!
I hired Michelle to help me care for my husband who had ALS. Michelle very quickly developed a wonderful relationship with my husband even though he relied on an eye-gaze computer to communicate. She was very attentive to his needs and jumped into action the minute he needed something. She took her role as caregiver seriously and was willing to do anything we needed. She went above and beyond the normal duties which I greatly appreciated. She communicated well with me to work with my schedule as much as possible. I was grateful to have her until my husband passed. I would highly recommend Michelle as a caregiver.
