About Michelle

I graduated from Washington State University with a Bachelor's degree in psychology and two minors in human development and sociology. Since then I have been working for a residential care agency with adult family homes and single individual apartments. I began as a caregiver and moved up to a site supervisor and eventually an area supervisor. As an area supervisor I manage eight special needs clients and 25 staffing caregivers. I am looking to change my job and do private caregiving as it will be closer to my home. I absolutely love being a caregiver and I cannot imagine myself doing anything else. I have a vast array of experience with many types of medical diagnoses and special needs. I strongly believe that the greatest skills a caregiver can have is incredible patience and to remain positive and smiling for those you care for! If you are interested and want to know more please feel free to contact me at any time. Thank you.

I became a caregiver because I enjoy sharing my time with seniors and I really enjoy helping them with their needs. I worked as a CNA for 13 years in a nursing home, until recently I decided to become a private caregiver. I have been working as a private caregiver for 6 years and really enjoy having a flexible schedule. I'm a very responsible, hard-working, compassionate and reliable person. I strongly believe in the golden rules. On a more personal note, the achievement that I'm most proud of is my family. Being a single mother, I raised 4 children of whom I am very proud of. On my free time, I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, cooking, and reading.
