2025 Janis Siegle Award Winner

MICHAELIA TEAGUE

Meet Michaelia Teague, our 2025 Janis Siegle Award winner. She is studying for her Associate’s Degree in Nursing, and expects to graduate in June 2026.

After graduation, Michaelia hopes to gain some experience in a cosmetic surgery office or urgent care before pursuing a career in pediatric or geriatric nursing.

Michaelia has been a CarePro with Home Helpers since July of 2024. In that time, she has worked primarily with our VA clients, providing critical assistance with activities of daily living as well as companionship to those who served our country. Thank you, Michaelia, and congratulations!

JANIS SIEGLE, RN, BSN, CRRN

Janis Siegle, RN, BSN, CRRN (pictured below) is a graduate of The Ohio State University College of Nursing. Janis’ career in Columbus spanned 61 years and included a diverse history of settings and patient populations.

Her early years were spent in hospital emergency rooms, orthopedics and acute care. After this early portion of her career, Janis stepped away from nursing to raise seven children. She and her husband Bill experienced all the challenges and joy that come with having multiple children involved in school athletics, extracurricular activities and community service—and they never shied away from any of it. Janis and Bill were leaders in their neighborhood, their church and their community.

After raising her children, Janis returned to her love of nursing and served in several leadership roles including: Supervisor for the Heinzerling Foundation (residential care and support for children and adults with severe or profound developmental disabilities), Director of Nursing at Wesley Glen Retirement Community, and Administrator at Advantage Home Health Care. Her final professional years were spent in administration, case management and cancer research.

Janis’ career embodies Home Helpers’ mission of making life easier for others by delivering exceptional care. Her love of work and family and her ability to balance both provides a great example for our CarePros to follow.

We are proud to honor our CarePros with the Janis Siegle Award each year.

Like Janis, the Award recipients exhibit professional excellence, an eagerness to serve and an unwavering commitment to their teammates and clients.

We had no idea what to expect when our 80-year-old mother was going to be released from the hospital after a car accident. When we talked to Jason from Home Helpers he explained everything they offer, helped us understand what we might need, and provided care for us the same day. The emphasis was on what would make us and our mother feel the most comfortable. Home Helpers was extremely accessible throughout her recovery and was able to accommodate our changing needs. My mother really liked the women who cared for her. She was able to explain to each of them what worked best for her and it was always accommodated. They were friendly and kind. We highly recommend Home Helpers.

"Thank you so much for your care, attention and support you gave to my dad and our family during the difficult last days. It was such a comfort knowing we could count on you and your staff. The aides were also wonderful and caring. We can't thank you enough for all you did so quickly, and we will happily let others know what a professional and caring group of people you and your staff are."

"I want to say thank you to you, Michele, and everyone else who has had a hand in providing stellar care to my grandparents. It means more than you know to me and them and we’re forever grateful. We wish they didn’t have to move because there will be a huge void now, especially with Michele not seeing them after this week—I know she cares deeply about them and we all really adore her, but for now we feel blessed to have met and worked with all of you. You all are always welcome to visit with them if the chance ever comes up, and who knows, maybe this is just a “see you later” and not a “goodbye.” My only hope is that after Tuesday, the level of care my grandparents receive comes close to the care they have had with you guys. Thank you guys so much."
