Understanding Your Journey
Whether you're seeking support for yourself, a parent, or a partner, I understand the complex emotions that come with this decision.

Support for YouWhy Choose Personal Care
Working with an individual caregiver offers unique advantages that larger agencies simply cannot match.
The Same Face, Every Time
No rotating staff or introductions to new caregivers. I take the time to truly know preferences, routines, and stories—building a relationship of trust that grows stronger with each visit.
Direct Communication
No layers of management or message relay. You communicate directly with the person providing care, ensuring your concerns are heard and addressed immediately.
Queenstown Knowledge
With 7+ years in the Queenstown community, I bring local understanding that enhances care—from knowing the best accessible walking routes to connections with local healthcare providers.
Activities Expertise
My background as an activities coordinator means care goes beyond basics—incorporating meaningful engagement that stimulates mind, body, and spirit for true quality of life.
Meet Michaela
My approach to caregiving comes from a deeply personal place. Over my 7 years in Queenstown, I've learned that exceptional care isn't about completing tasks—it's about honoring the whole person and their unique story.
My dual background in caregiving and activities coordination gives me a unique perspective on what makes life meaningful, even as needs change. I believe everyone deserves care that maintains dignity, nurtures connection, and creates moments of genuine joy.

Hear from people who've experienced the difference that consistent, relationship-based care can make in their lives.
Rebecca Davey
Palliative Care Nurse
"During my time working with Michaela, I witnessed her consistently demonstrate genuine care, compassion, and respect for every patient she looked after. She maintained each individual's dignity and upheld their wishes at all times, creating a safe and supportive environment for both patients and staff.
In her dual role as an Activities Coordinator and Health Care Assistant, Michaela brought creativity and thoughtfulness to her work. She designed and facilitated activities that were not only engaging but also personally tailored to each patient's interests and needs — making a meaningful difference in their daily lives. Her dedication, empathy, and professionalism made her a truly valued member of the team.'"
Dawn Sherbrooke
Daughter
"Michaela worked alongside my late mother-in-law, Judy, at both Bupa and Arvida in the capacity of Activities manager. Later, when Judy transitioned into a resident at Arvida Care Centre , Michaela continued to provide her with compassionate and dedicated care.
Michaela had a very close relationship with Judy, both as colleague and as carer. She was also instrumental in contributing to the social and physical care of my very close friend who was a resident at Arvida during his final years as a terminal (young) cancer sufferer. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michaela for any role in aged care or the caring profession in general."
