About Melissa

I have been a caregiver since as young as I can remember! I have been a caregiver since before I have received my certifications & licenses. I find it comes naturally to me to help people who need care. I am a firm believer that individuals who choose this profession should genuinely enjoy giving care. I am a firm believer that the best caregivers and nurses are natural nurturers. A personal accomplishment that I am very proud of is completing nursing school.
