About MICHELLE

I'm a kind, calm, reliable, organized, tough & sharp caregiver (54 years old). I originally took a CNA course in 2023 to better care for my own aging parents, and my father's care needs as a diabetic on dialysis, 100% hearing impaired and with mild dementia have prepared me well for this role. I grew up helping in his diabetes management care, including healthy meals, medication reminders, and now, transport (VA & local hospitals & clinics). I teach English remotely part-time, as a freelance tutor to international students and love to read & learn. I'm seeking work as care provider because I have always been a caretaker and I derive great pleasure from helping others and bringing joy where I can. I love nature and outdoor adventures. My proudest achievement is raising my two daughters, preparing them for the adulthood they now are both thriving in. My two granddaughters bring me so much joy as well!

I do live in Seattle, and I hold three Washington State healthcare credentials: Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA), Registered Medical Assistant (RMA), and Medical Assistant-Phlebotomist. I have 20 years of experience caring for seniors and adults at home, in adult family homes, nursing facilities, hospice, and hospitals, with specialty training in Dementia, Mental Health, and Nurse Delegation. I am patient, calm, and detail-oriented, with strong skills in medication management, personal care, and fall prevention. I assess clients' homes for safety and help them get equipment like walkers, grab bars, hospital beds, commodes, and shower chairs so they can stay active and independent. I became a caregiver because everyone deserves dignity and kindness. What I enjoy most is helping clients feel safe and understood and giving families peace of mind. I'm proud of founding my own business, Hope Health Senior Care, in 2016, where I serve as Care Manager while still providing hands-on care. I have also been contracting with CareLinx as a caregiver since December 2016, 10 years.
