About Melissa

I became a care giver because I want to be able to help others in the comfort of their own homes. Being a caregiver is a rewarding experience to me because I am helping someone who can not help themselves as much as they would like to be able to. My personal achievement is working towards my degree while working and helping others. I am a single mother working towards a degree in nursing. The experience I am gaining while working with the elderly I feel will help me once I have earned my degree.

I have always worked In the medical Field since I was out of high school. I have experience in resolving unpaid medical bills since one of my previous jobs was just doing that. Another job I had was working with an eye specialist so I do know about glasses, contacts, optics, etc. I always get the best prices for my family and friends. My mom has diabetes so I always try to make sure she eats right. In fact I had taken nutrition classes just for her. I take ungoing courses because I enjoy learning about health.

I'am a patient, kind, caring knowledgeable Caregiver with 11 year's worth of experience.I'am a certified Medical Assistant (MA). The reason I've wanted to be a caregiver is because I believe that every person's life is valuable and deserves special care. What I enjoy the most about being a caregiver is that I can help others live a quality life. My most personal achievement that I'am proud of is finishing school to become a Medical Assistant.
