About Melissa

I am passionate in helping others & providing meaningful care to enrich the clients lives as well as my own. In caring for others, reciprocity happens when given the opportunities for a family type relationship with kindness, sincerity, loyalty, & sensitive to their needs. Communication is always key whenever possible as well. I began caring for my mother in 2010, which led me to helping many others until they needed nursing care. It is a honor to serve always meeting new people and learning from them in all diversity. I have worked as a companion to help someone undergoing cancer treatments for brain cancer, I have cared for someone who lost their speech due to strokes. I also have specialty experience with those with Autism, on the Spectrum. I am passionate about enriching lives and making a difference so we can all be our best. Everyone deserves the best care possible being treated with love & respect.

I started caregiving over ten years ago and found out that helping other people In there time of need and to make them as comfortable as possible was what I wanted to do in life. I'm very responsible, attentive and reliable. You can contact any of my former clients or their families and they will all tell you that I become family.
