About Melanie

I simply love taking care of people, its my life long dream and goal in life to assist others in their time of need. I have a sick mother who is doing much better due to all the wonderful nursing staff and family that helped nurse her back to health, and through that this is my way of giving back. What I enjoy most about being a caregiver are the smiles, laughs, and small victories I get to witness everyday with my wonderful patients and their families. Personal achievements I am proud of are going to USD fulltime, going to school for my EMT, CNA, and HHA certificates and still maintaining good grades.
