About Melissa

My name is Melissa and I am 29 years old. I first became a CNA when my grandfather became ill, i realized how much it meant to him and myself to be there to help provide any care he needed from a loving and close family member. In that time we became so close. So after that i then became certified in the summer of 2015 because i knew I wanted to work in the medical field and continue to make a difference in helping all types of people. I got my first few years of experience in a couple longterm rehab nursing facilities. I am currently considering all jobs I come across here on carelinx. A few interests of mine are traveling and sight seeing, visits to the beach, outdoor adventures with family and friends, Art, music and reading a good book. Many would say my personality shows that am hardworking, driven and motivated, I am currently focused on my future and currently taking college classes online to further my education. **Availability-- I am currently availabe to work mostly late afternoon/night shifts at the moment/ 7 days a week, but depending on what u need I may be flexible, just reach out and ask! I will provide any and all types of specific care that you or a loved one will need interested in hiring me? Reach out to me to discuss further specifics/ interview. I will reply Asap!

Following all different types of care plans which includes helping provide and assisting with all daily routines, grooming and hygiene on my assigned residents, also assist with all meaIs and making sure nourishment is provided for everyone in need, i had to work well and with other employees while maintaining a safe environment. Documenting and reporting to the in charge nurse as needed goes with the job. At this location I worked a lot in both longterm care units and the short- term rehabilitation unit.

I am a compassionate, caring and trustworthy person. I am a consummate professional with a great work ethic. I have elderly parents that receive care so I know the traits that I look for in a caregiver. I have always had the desire to help others. Helping others improve or maintain a good quality of life has always been fulfilling and satisfying. My greatest personal achievements have been graduating from college with honors, advancing in my career and taking care of my aging parents.

I became a caregiver because I like caring for people that can no longer care for themselves the way that they would like to, be it for health reasons or etc. I like knowing that I am making their lives easier and making them feel better about themselves, avoiding any insecurities about their limitations. A personal achievement that I am proud of is knowing that in such little time I made a difference to many of my patients...I worked for almost 2 years at a nursing home facility and they all asked me to stay because no one had taken care of them like I had and I see this as an achievement. About myself, I am 44 years old. I acquired my CNA license in 2014 and I love the field I am in. I am experienced in in-home care and Hospital ICU care. I am a very caring and dependable individual. I am bilingual in Spanish. I also have my CPR certificate that was recently acquired in 2015 and my Phlebotomist Certificate which I acquired in 2019.
