About Michelle

As a home health provider I try to work closely with a client as well as their family to ensure all the needs are met so they can live safely at home . I meet the physical needs as well as the emotional needs for I feel that is equally important. When I work with a patient I treat them as if they were my own mother grandmother, father or family member and I realize that this is a difficult time in their life and nobody ever imagined getting to a point in their life where they would be unable to take care of themselves and the thought of going to a nursing home or facility is even more frightful so I am patient and caring and trustworthy so that they can stay at home where they're more comfortable I feel as though they are still in charge of their life

I was a Librarian back in the Philippines but when I came to the US in 2006, my friend encouraged me to try working with the elderly as a caregiver. Since then, I have been working as a caregiver and I developed the love and passion in taking care of the elderly. I have experience in taking care.of elderly with different health issues such as Alzheimers, Dementia, diabetis, heart diseases (ie. CHF), Lung or respiratory disease, stroke, cancer, hospice, etc. I assist my residents with their activities of daily living such as bathing, dressing, walking, exercising, etc.. I also do meal preparation , laundry, light housekeeping and medication reminder. I can also assist my Residents with their errands and bring them to their doctor's appointments. I am not only a caregiver to to my Residents but I am also a companion, a friend, a confidant whom they could trust and depend on. I am a responsible person,, loyal and reliable. I stay with my Residents until they terminate my employment. I am proud of being a caregiver because I know I make a difference in the lives of my Residents and I am grateful that most of my Residents that I have taken cared of, including their families, trusted me to be part of the last journey of their lives. My nationality is Filipino and we are known to be the best in caregiving, especially to the elderly.
