About Melissa

I became a Caregiver, because I want to give back to my community. I feel that being a Caregiver is a way to give back. I realized I wanted to take this path 5 years ago when I was looking over my grandparents. What I like about being a Caregiver is that I am giving back to people. I am proud of the opportunities I have gotten with my grandparents. Without them I would not have realized how much I love to do this. I completed my CNA course 3 years ago. I have been working as a caregiver for about 4 years. I am currently in nursing school. Hoping to become a nurse by the end of the year.

Hi, my name is Jackie. I am 45 years old and I have over 10 years of experience as a caregiver. I became a caregiver because I enjoy to spend time with elderly and listen to thear stories. I feel really lucky to have best clients so far and I am glad be able to help them as much as a can. About myself - I am from Bulgaria, Eastern Europe. I speak English, Russian and my native Bulgarian languages. I am a Pharmacy Technician. I took a degree from I.R.T. Technical College in Skokie, IL in 2008. I worked 7 years for Traycee Home Care agency and last 4 years I've been a private caregiver. I also have a hospice experience, but mostly I've been taking care of clients suffering from Alzheimer's/Dementia, stroke and diabetes. If you are interested in my services, please send me an email or give me a call. Thank you
