About MELISSA

Hello! My name is Melissa Dixon and I provide services to disabled or elderly clients in their homes. I have over 12 years experience with duties such as administering medicines, noticing changes in health condition, helping with personal care, running errands, and housekeeping. I love doing what I do because...It's Fun! I have a true appreciation for those in their late stages in life. Rather than simply seeing impediments, I enjoy the stories, experiences and humor of the seniors I care for. I also enjoy the variety of activities and entertainment available.

Hi my name is Debra and I have been a caregiver for 9 years. And the reason why I continue this career is I love helping people and to see their condition improve. Especially working with the Geriatric. I love to hear their life stories. And I care about these patients. Also, their families know they can trust me with a family member. My personal achievement: I am most proud of is when my assignment is completed we are sad to part and I know have done a good job and to also, receive a great letter of recommendation. Infact I have a couple of letters from past clients. My personalijty traits: I am easy going and I prefer to cater to my client and to make sure they have all that they need while I am on duty with them. And to make sure that their family does not have to worry about anything while they are in my care. Or shift.

I have been a caregiver for the past 14 years. I started this type of work when I graduated high school. I started working in an Assisted Living facility. It feels amazing when one is able to bring out a smile from an elderly person after providing them with the help they need. A few years back I was assigned to care for a lady who was placed in Hospice. After a few weeks of care and patience, she was removed from Hospice. Since my help was no longer needed I was dismissed, but on my last day I received a beautiful letter from her family thanking me for taking such good care of their mother and for helping her come out of Hospice. One feels ecstatic when others are able to see and tell you what a passionate caregiver you are.
