About Michael

I am a great caregiver because I treat my patients, not just their diseases. I like to take a look at the big picture, and ask myself, and others on the care team: Why are we in this persons life today? I always put my patients' needs and desires above all else. I consider myself a \"go getter\" and do not wait for events to come to me, but rather seek out ways I can improve myself, and the lives of others. I was first attracted to being a nurse at a young age (about 11 or so) when I realized that when I went to the hospital or doctor's office, it was always the nice nurse that made me feel better, that spent most of the time with me, making me comfortable. I enjoy taking place in other people's recovery the most. Knowing that \"today, I made someone feel better than they were before\", is really what I enjoy about this profession. A personal achievement I am proud of, honestly is making it this far in nursing school. It is one of the most challenging experiences I have had, and I feel proud to say that I am well on my way to being a professional.

Hi I'm Ateka, I've been a caregiver for 10yrs. Working as a caregiver is very fulfilling as I enjoy seeing my clients happy and healthy. I believe that you should always take care of those who can't help themselves. In my country of Ethiopia I took care of senior citizens. We believe that the elderly should never suffer nor go into Nursing Homes to be alone. My hope is one day all people who need assistance will be able to get the quality care they need and deserve.

Hello, my name is Elisa I am 59 years old My caregiving started in 1995 , as my Mother became ill , I knew she would want a high level of in home care that I would personally be able to provide. As her illness became more advanced , it was important to me that she be able to stay in her home where she would be more comfortable. A few time a week turned into every day, then several hours a day. My Mothers wishes to be at home in her time of need was fulfilled . And it was a blessing and a honor to be there for her. I found myself wanting to give other families the same opportunity my Mother was given. I continued working closely with other families as well as with the IHSS of King Co. from 1995 till 2001.Then in California in Contra Costa Co. From 2002 - 2009 then , I returned back to Washington State where I have continued my work with private families. I am available to start giving the best care to your loved ones or yourself and give the same opportunity to remain safely in your home. I am currently approved, on the Home Health Care Registry . Please feel free to see a full work history upon request. References can be provided upon request. I have been given the covid vaccine .
