About Michael

Experience: 5 yrs

Hello, I worked for eight years as a home health & hospice counselor/companion and 16 prior years in higher education and ministry. I've worked with adults with autism, CHF, Parkinsons, ALZ & ALS. Trained as a Direct Support Professional. I am easy to talk to, and connect with. My focus is on giving more than competent care to clients and family members. I am competent with personal care, bathing & toileting, competent with Hoyer lift. The goals of you or your loved one are most important to me. I am skilled at both personal care (adl) and household care. I'm a big fan of pets and do a little dog training because I enjoy it. I don't board others' animals. My wife & I are big & small dog owners, live music lovers, I hope to be of value for you or your loved one & family.

After some deliberation, my family decided to look for a part-time caregiver for my ailing father, who was in hospice care. We thought Mike's resume appeared too good to be true. But it is genuinely understated. From the initial call the evening we made contact, his caring mannerism was evident, and my family immediately felt a connection with Mike. Although my father passed soon after he began caring for him, Mike took the time to read the scriptures, pray for my father, and console and pray with my family. We could not have been happier with Mike. We will continue telling everyone needing a kind, gentle, and good-hearted caregiver that Mike is a true Godsend!
