About Michelle

Growing up I helped take care of my brother with cerebral palsy. I learned what foods he could eat, how to feed him, get him in/out of his wheelchair, daily physical therapy, communicating using modified sign language or his Touch Talker machine. 11 years ago my husband retired from the military and I became his caregiver. I scheduled all his appointments and accompanied him to them, called in/picked up his medications, administered them on a daily basis, and managed all his paperwork. I learned to navigate through the VA medical system getting him set up with the help he needed. This enables him to function independently and allows me to, once again, join the workforce. I am currently certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED until 07/08/2020.
