Michelle’s Bio

Hello, and thank you for your consideration of me for your loved one!!

By trade, I am an educator, having graduated in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Education (Art Ed major, Psych minor), from Temple University in Philadelphia, PA.

My experience with senior companion care includes helping to take care of my grandfather and grandmother, at separate times.

My grandfather, for many months, required assistance with walking, standing, and general movement. I would aid him to the bathroom, and even change him when needed. Additionally, I would provide medications to him at correct times, and take him to appointments since he didn't drive. Quality time, of course, would be spent together by talking, watching a show together, looking at pictures, or maybe playing a game.

Later, after my grandfather passed, my grandmother became wheelchair-bound, and required extra love and help. I assisted in similar duties that I previously had for my grandmother, including lifting her from bed to wheelchair, wheelchair to car, and so forth. I would assist in providing her medications as needed, and especially helped her with grooming and hygiene practices. For fun, I would take her out and about with my sister. We loved spending time together, talking, and just being near one another.

To learn more, please inquire:)

Thank you, and stay safe!!
