About Melissa

I deeply care about others and strive to make my client comfortable in their time of need. I like to think this isnt just for the client but for their family aswell. I understand how stressful it can be for the family. I started taking care of my Grandmother when she was 98yr until she past at 100yrs, along with my Grandmother I took care of my Mother until April of this year. I have been a Caregiver for 3+ years. I love what I do, It gives me much joy to make my clients smile and laugh. I dont mind animals, I love them! If you need me to get groceries, run errands, or go get dinner, cut the lawn trim the bushes, I will gladly do that for you. I just want to make your life a little bit easier!

I have over 10 years of caregiver experience. I started off as a caregiver to make extra money then I fell in love with the job and the people I care for. Now I'm a full-time caregiver going to school to open my very own elderly day center.
