About Michelle

Experience: 10 yrs

I can best describe my recent work history as a "professional mother." I have been a caregiver for my adult son, who has severe autism and many medical issues. I've also cared for a young senior who is 100% disabled for much of the last five years until she moved to another state, and last year, a lady in her late eighties who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, substance addiction, and severe dementia. I can provide a letter from the family with these references. As my son is now in a full-time care facility, I have more time to devote to another family's needs. I can help with light housekeeping and cooking, medication dispensing/record keeping, transportation to appointments, errands, and general companionship. If your loved one is the sort who enjoys long conversations about various topics, I am your lady. I am a fiction writer in my off-hours and have an interest and curiosity about most every subject. If your senior enjoys talking about it, so do I.

Effie (Michelle) worked evenings and was wonderful with our 82 yr old mom. She was loving and empathetic and was a great companion in the (sometimes) lonely evening hours. She also helped around the house and took care of her puppy while assuring mom had a good dinner and went to bed happy, settled and on time. I would recommend her for her loving and persistent style as well as companionship.
