Caregiven Leadership

Candice Smith
CEO & Founder
I founded Caregiven so that no other daughter would feel as I did when caring for my Dad. At Caregiven we strive to see every caregiver, value their contributions, and lighten the weight they carry so that they spend less time overwhelmed, as I did, and have more meaningful time with their loved ones.

Janelle Buzzell
Finance Director
When my brother, early in recovery from a traumatic brain injury, asked me “What do people that don’t have you to help them do?” I realized just how vital a caregiver is in the recovery process. Ever since that moment I have sought a way to use what I learned when caring for my brother to help others.

Michele Houck
Marketing Director
In 2016 my life swiftly changed from executive to caregiver. My close knit family lost their lives to different cancers in a short span of 3 years. I provided care, love and managed their wishes which extended into adopting my niece and my dad's dog. Supporting caregivers is my focus and passion.
