About Michael

My name is Michael Nathan Schoonover and I'm 6'6 240 And love to help the elderly. I've been doing this for over 2 years while trying to finish my schooling with the ultimate goal of becoming an RN. I have worked for multiple clients and have became almost like family with most of them. Doing my best to protect the clients rights and help with whatever they need is what's important while also motivating the client to move and excercise. I'm very much into sports and have played multiple sports my entire life. Motivation is everything to me! I'm 30 years old and just turned it not long ago. I hope you give me a chance and I won't disappoint.

24 Hour Home Care
I help elderly clients with their daily duties while going above and beyond to meet the clients needs. I also motivate and try to have fun knowing that the client isn't always the happiest or healthiest. Clients rights are everything to me and I like to tell my clients I'm just your shadow and muscle! I love my job and never have a bad day!!

I believe what makes me a great caregiver is that I take care of all my patients as if they were my own family and make sure they are comfortable and most importantly I listen to their needs. I first became interested in health care when my mother was ill and needed care herself and realized that I had a real passion for helping others. I enjoy knowing that the family can be at ease knowing I'm there taking care of their loved ones. At Long Beach Memorial I was know as the "sitter whisper" because whenever they had a difficult patient they would alway assign me that patient and by the end of the day the patient would no longer require restraints or was completely compliant and friendly. They always ask what was my secret and I would say I simply listen to what their needs are.

My expertise lies in providing personalized care plans to meet each individual's unique needs. What attracted me to being a caregiver was the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of those in need. I have a genuine love for helping others and enjoy being part of a team that is dedicated to providing the highest level of care. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver is being able to make a positive impact on the lives of those I care for.
