About Melissa

I began caregiving to a elderly man when I was just eighteen. His daughter was a friend at church . She thought I would be a good companion for him for the summer, while she worked. I enjoyed helping him and getting to know him. As years went by I would help my husband grandmother and care for older family members. In 2009, I found myself with an opportunity to care for an three different individuals . I got to know and help some very interesting people and love it. I love to encourage people and make their day a better one. \

    I believe the care given to patients and the ability to care for others is a gift that I possess. I'm originally from Cincinnati, Ohio. I moved to Jacksonville 26 years ago. I'm energetic, fun, loving, caring, compassionate, trustworthy, and dependable. I have wanted to be a nurse all my life. I now have the opportunity to do so. I became a Certified Nurse Assistant to begin working with patients while still enrolled in college, at Florida State College Jacksonville. I enjoy what I do, and love meeting new people. In the six years I've been a Certified Nurse Assistant I have had the opportunity to meet some beautiful people. I will continue my education until I become a registered nurse.
