About Melissa

I was a CNA in a nursing home for 3 years. It was my absolute favorite job along with caregiving I have ever had. At the time I was getting ready to have children and took a different career path in insurance always dreaming of the day I would return to caregiving. I enjoy caring for others. I am patient, compassionate and am easy to get along with. I am most proud of my professional achievement in my previous company. I ran a million dollar book of business for my department.

I enjoy working with the elderly and making elderly and making them feel comfortable in their own skin. To feel powerless when you get old is one of the worst things a individual can experience. I have so so much experience with elderly people and those that are dependent on a wheelchair. I can honestly say I enjoy the company of those who can no longer care for themselves. My goal as a caregiver is to be able to give back power to those who feel hopeless and bring happiness to the life they have left. I currently am working with a quadriplegic elder lady that I love to death but she plans to move to Washington this November. I know I have made a difference in her life and also a friendship that will last forever. She is a reference so if your seriously interested in having me work for you I will give you her name and phone number and she would great be able to tell you all the hard honest and compassionate work I have done. Unfortunately I will greatly miss her but I need to find someone else I can care for when she leaves. Feel free to message me if you are interested. I am able to start working in November from 8:30am till 2pm.

Something that attracted me to becoming a caregiver is my passion to help others. I don't see caregiving as a job but more like an opportunity to help someone who just needs a little boost to get through the day. I enjoy seeing my patients laugh & feel comfortable through the day. I do my best to make sure they have what they need while I'm working and while im gone. The elderly are no different from us younger folks, Like I said before they just need a little boost of energy and happiness to get through the day.
