About Michele

I started as an Activities Coordinator at a Memory Care community and then advanced to become a Sales Counselor at an Assisted Living/Memory Care Community. I have a passion for serving seniors and especially love working with those who have neurological disease states such as Dementia or Alzheimer's. I paid (out-of-pocket) for "Core" Training to become an Executive Director at a Senior Living Community. I am looking for a part time opportunity and one that is somewhat flexible to supplement my income. I can provide reliable references as a testament to my dedication to serve the senior population! Before I discovered my passion, I was a marketing executive for 20 years.

I have worked with children of all ages, elderly, disabled adults and children for almost 15 years. I enjoy taking care of people, I have worked in the medical field since I was 17. I'm a CNA as well as a CMT, L1MA, first aid and cpr certified and insulin certified. I'm a hard worker and very dependable. I prefer private or in home care to facilities due to the fact that I get a chance to know my clients one on one and build somewhat of a professional relationship with them. I'm a outgoing, cheerful person, and very patient. I've always been told I have a great personality but Im just a normal everyday person that cares deeply for those that I care for.
