About Michael

I will not be available until after the 2020 Census ends - probably in the beginning of October. I have always had an interest in caring for people. I have a BS degree in Psychology and completed three years towards a PhD in Social / Personality Research; however, I didn't complete my Doctorate and went to work in an unrelated field. My father died of complications due to Alzheimer's, so I am familiar with the effects of dementia, and I have worked as an Aide with children on the autistic Spectrum. My ex-wife's sister had MS, and I am familiar with the effects of that disease ; and have helped care for an adult woman, who I dated; who was dependent on a wheelchair and the use if crutches for mobility, due to a spinal condition that affected her since birth.

I am a people person who finds it rewarding and challenging to give optima care. When a person is limited in caring for one self, that's were I come in and help them over coming their disabilities and enhance their self-worth.. We never know when the end is coming, so I make everyday the best day possible. I am very compassionate trustworthy with peoples privacy issues. I am a team player who goes above and beyond. Safety and security are my first and for most priority.
