Experience: 1 yr
Reliable, friendly, patient marketing pro and mom of a 21-year-old college student. I'm looking for occasional care jobs while searching for a flexible corporate job. I have lots of time now. After I have a full-time job, I may be able to continue helping you on evenings and weekends. My parents are in their 70s, and I care for them and other family members after surgeries. I was the primary caregiver for someone who fought cancer for a year and survived, so I understand the importance of medicine, schedules, and dietary issues. I've had cats, dogs, and fish. I have a BA in Literature from UC Irvine, lived in Germany for a year, and speak some German and French. For 25 years, I've managed sales, marketing, and events related to music, education, tech, and retail for corporate and family businesses, so I'm a multitasker and calm under pressure. Can help with cooking, transportation, and shopping . My SUV seats 7 (or 5 with groceries or a wheelchair).
Michelle is a very thoughtful and kind human being. She handled so many things for us for my elderly mom, at a time when we so needed the support. Michelle is an excellent communicator, super organized and it felt like she was part of our family, over the time she helped us. I can’t recommend her enough! I would hire her again in a heartbeat❤️
