About Michelle

Reviewed on 3/30/2024

I hope that this space is enough for me to express the immense gratitude and joy I had in having Michelle as a caregiver these last few months, as she was nothing short of incredible. Her professionalism is beyond reproach. Always on time, dressed for the job, personable, fun, great conversationalist, prompt and efficient with routine and tasks. I had a month hospital stay due to ms, and was very weakened and out of sorts when returning home. I’m 43yrs old and have not had to have any caregivers with the effects of the disease, until this January. I was anxious and a bit ornery thinking about the process. We reached out to several people on care.com, and after interviewing Michelle we didn’t even contact anyone else. She is warm and positive, and very helpful. She helped clear, clean, and organize so many of the areas I was not able to, like cleaning out the closets and fridge and freezer. She would keep the house tidy and clean; doing laundry, sweeping, swiffering, dusting, changing the bed sheets. When we got a new kitten she didn’t hesitate to help out with feeding and playtime. Above and beyond in learning PT exercises to do with me to help my mobility. Showering and dressing were daunting, until Michelle! Culinarily I couldn’t say enough! She would prepare delicious breakfasts and lunch, and was so great with meal prep, too. I love to cook, but didn’t have the strength, stamina, or coordination to do all the prep for the types of meals I like to cook, so sous chef Michelle stepped in and chopped like a graduate from the CorDon Blu! She always had great tips for helpful tools and tricks for mobility and energy conservation. She is so thoughtful, too. Bringing flowers for Valentine’s Day, getting chocolates from a great candy store, sharing recipes or funny memes, even bringing some traditional Portuguese sweet bread from her culture. She helped put away groceries and packages, and would pick up groceries when we were out of things. She was with us for three months and if we could have her stay for the year, we would. If you are needing someone to care for your loved one Michelle is the ONLY choice. She came as my caregiver and left as my friend.
