About Melissa

I was a CNA, have my caregiver certificate, CPR and first aide, fingerprint clearance card, an up to date on my TB. I have been in this line of buisness for over 20 years. I have worked with quads, paraplegics, elderly, children, dementia, cancer patient, burn victims, behaviral patients, sun downers, bed bound, Parkinson's, etc. I can use a hoyer, stand by assist, pivot transfer. Wherever I worked I was always asked to lift the heaviest. They say that when I do it, it looks easy. I tell them it is just how you use your body. I have done companionship, errands, personal care, wound care, housekeeping, etc. I have worked in hospitals, nursing homes, day care for the elderly, assisted living and my favorite is home care. I have worked all kinds of shifts. I'm reliable and trustworthy. Thanks in advance. I get along well with people. I'm a very compassionate person. I like to make people laugh. I always go above and beyond of what is asked for. 2 families I have been with for 2 and a half years now!! There are caregivers and there is caregivers with a heart. I consider I'm the second one. I'm always up to date on cpr and first aide and my TB.

With 12 years experience caring for seniors in their home & in facility, I find satisfaction in not only caring for his/her physical needs but also being a companion. I'm agency trained, certified HHA, comfortable with all tasks, experienced with Parkinson's, dementia/Alzheimers, COPD, heart disease, diabetes, stroke recovery. I enjoy making ADLs pleasant for you. My clients have enjoyed my friendly and caring personality and attention to their individual likes/dislikes. I adapt well to each situation, sensing what routine works best for the client, finding balance between ADLs and quality of life activities. I look forward to visiting with you and being of service,

I know when they grow old they need somebody to listen, talk and just be there for them. What I am proud of is making them smile and help them at the same time. I have five kids and eight grand kids. I don't have my parents anymore but to me taking care of anybody that needed help is like taking care of my parents. I am very easy to get along with. If I can be given the opportunity to prove myself.
