Experience: 5 yrs
I provided full time care for my dad, living with dementia, for the past 3 years. I helped him with all activities of daily living in and out of the house. I tried to keep him active and interacting as much as possible for as long as possible. I have worked with all ages and cognitive differences, including being a caregiver at a small children's home, and I have a teenager of my own. I can help give a sense of calm and normalcy. I reliably show up excited about the day, and I have first hand experience of the ups and downs of dementia, TBIs, ADHD, and autism. My professional background is in visual arts, and my special interests include guitar performance, music theory, and disc golfing. I love being outside, moving around, strolling, and finding adventures.
Michele is an exceptional caregiver with a truly compassionate heart. She cared for her father for many years before his passing and consistently went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, safe, clean, and well cared for. She made sure all of his daily needs were met, from preparing meals and maintaining his hygiene to handling the more difficult aspects of caregiving with patience and dignity. Michele never shied away from the challenging parts of senior care. She took great care in managing soiled clothing, bedding, furniture, and living spaces while protecting surfaces and maintaining a clean, respectful environment. Her attention to detail and commitment to her father's well-being were remarkable. Beyond his physical needs, Michele also cared for his emotional well-being. She would play guitar for him, provide activities, and create moments of joy and connection. Her love and respect for older adults is evident in everything she does. She truly believes seniors deserve to be valued, loved, and treated with dignity. I would highly recommend Michele to anyone looking for a caregiver who brings compassion, dedication, and genuine love to the people she cares for.
