We are excited to honor Leah C. as our June Employee of the Month! Leah's unwavering dedication, compassion, and leadership make her a standout member of our team.
One of Leah’s most remarkable contributions is her role in training new caregivers. Families often request Leah specifically to onboard new team members in their homes—a true testament to the trust and respect she’s earned. She not only advocates for her clients’ needs but also highlights their progress and achievements, ensuring that every voice is heard and celebrated.
Leah consistently supports families with empathy and excellence, giving them peace of mind and the freedom to go about their day knowing their loved ones are in capable hands. She lives out our Core Values—consistency, integrity, and serving with passion—in everything she does.
Her impact hasn’t gone unnoticed. A grateful client recently shared:
“I have really appreciated having Leah here and she does a great job. She is a hard worker and is very helpful.”
Here is some of what inspired Leah to become a caregiver.
Leah’s desire to care for others started with her family. “My great-grandma was one of the first nurses to graduate from Munson, and when I was four years old, I remember helping my grandma’s nurse. Later, I moved home to care for my grams. My great-grandma always told me she knew I would end up in nursing in some compacity. It makes my soul happy to help people when they need it, especially in their own home.”
She also shared what she values most about working at BrightStar Care of Northern Michigan:
“What I like most about BrightStar is the ability to keep people home.” Whether it's supporting someone through end-of-life care on their own terms or helping them gain independence, Leah finds it an honor to be part of that journey.
When she’s not caring for others, Leah enjoys tending to her houseplants, walking her dog, swimming, reading, and listening to podcasts. She also loves cooking, especially trying new recipes and creating food and wine pairings with her fiancé.
Leah, thank you for your positivity, dedication, and the heart you bring to every shift. We’re proud to have you on our team—keep up the incredible work!
