About Michael

Working with the elderly for the past 15 yeas in the Health Care Industry I find they hold a world of information through their life`s experiences. I enjoy their company and the ability to make them smile and laugh gives me great personal enjoyment. The ability to provide care is something I hope in the future if needed will come from someone with a caring heart. I am 48 years old and just relocated from Baltimore, MD working for HCR Manor Care ( Activity Assistant) to Fayetteville, NC with the promise of a Activity Assistant job that was filled before I completed my relocation move.

    I started out in a privately owned Assisted Living in 2003, not needing my LNA. During my first year there, I fell in love with taking care of others. I went back to school and got my LNA license in 2004 (NH requires you to be licensed). I enjoy serving our seniors by helping them lead full and productive lives each day. Their needs are always put before mine, I like to focus on quality of life. My personal achievement would have to be moving to another state and challenging my skills to take the test and get my CNA here in NC in 2010. I also took the state test to become a medication tech in 2016. I feel that I can adapt easily to any environment and can work very well with others. It is said, that I have an out going personality and am courteous to everyone. I am 41 yrs old, met my husband when I was 19. We had a son, who is now 21, got married in 1999 and had our daughter, who is now 18. We are from NH. Moved to NC a little over 8 yrs ago and love it here. The activities of daily living I can perform includes.. Hygiene/bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting assistance/incontinence, mobility assistance, transfer assistance, feeding assistance, transportation, managing medication, light housekeeping/laundry, exercises, groceries/shopping, companionship and more!

    I was working in a nursing home and I felt some people feel better with one on one care,and being home They can get that. I love be able to help with everyday needs,and learning more about elders life. Two years ago I took over my family business and started taking care of more people. I have been doing private nursing for 25 years,and really enjoy it,I cant see me doing anything else.
