About Michelle

I have been providing companionship, personal care, light housekeeping, laundry and errands off and on for 2 years private and as an employee with a company. I have a total of 7 years overall experience. I am experienced in caring for early-late onset Alzheimer's as well as those who do not suffer from this disease. Experience with those who can become easily agitated even violent. Worked in a day center for 20 months mainly with late stage dementia and also with special needs young adults where I was specially trained to care for dementia in a person centered care. This means the person is treated as an individual and not as an illness. I really love what I do and find I prefer to work on my own because my style is treating everyone with respect regardless of their abilities and making sure all their needs are met are really important to me. I am very compassionate about the people I care for and love what I do. I am not certified at this time but can still be looked up on the registry.

    I am an experienced caregiver with impeccable references. In my last 2 positions, I assumed the role of house manager. I have provided care for 2 patients with dementia, 1 patient with low mobility due to rheumatoid arthritis and an end stage heart disease patient requiring oxygen 24/7. I had an extensive background check with my most recent employer and had a thorough background check as well as fingerprinting when I worked as a claims adjuster for USAA. I am reliable, trustworthy, caring, understanding, patient and detail oriented. I will be more than happy and proud to provide references.
