About Melissa

My name is Melissa. I have been working with Elderly and Disabled people since age 9. I started by Volunteering at a Nursing home ,and then I volunteered to work with disabled people of all ages. I knew from a small age that I wanted to care for people of all types. I have always had a special passion for The Elderly. I wanted to be a caregiver and a Nurse because i enjoy working with people and I love having one on one interactions with people. I like that I get to make a difference in someone's life. I would describe my Personality traits as being very caring,polite,patient,very understanding, loving, compassionate, respectful, and Empathetic . A Personal Achievement I am proud of would be Getting into Nursing School, and completing my Bachelor's in Human Development and Family Studies.

I started helping my grandparents at a young age. I could relate to them, and would sit and listen to 78 rpm records, w/ my grandfather, and he would tell me stories about the music we listened to. I traveled around the World, w/ my parents at their families,and would have to help them in their needs. In 2000, I started working at Nursing Homes in Boulder, and have continued to this day. I can relate to the elderly, whether they are male or female. I like seeing them happy and pleased, when I have helped them in any way. The fact that I have been with various clients for over 6 yrs. continuously, before they have passed on. I live in Lafayette, Colo. Am a homeowner, am very religiously minded, and am always putting "other people first", before myself. I always think of the aspect of: "how would I feel, were I in the other individuals' shoes?" and how they would want to be treated?
