About Melanie

Being compassionate and actively listening are my major strengths. I have demonstrated ability to involve clients in social activities and to provide exceptional daily living services with high regard for their privacy. I've always felt that care giving is not just providing physical care to the patient assigned to you. Providing emotional support to clients going through a traumatic (physical or emotional) phase in their lives is also important. In addition to this, ensuring that the place that one’s assigned patient is living in is organized and safe for them is also the responsibility of a caregiver.

HI am energetic,loving,patient and happy lady aged 27,Who believes in nothing less than hundred percent commitment and achievement.i believe that my client happiness and joy is very important and I always do all it takes to ensure they are happy .my greatest fulfillment in life is being able to see someone I work with satisfied and happy.I started falling in love with being a care giver when my grand mom was sick and we wanted her to stay with us thinking that would be the best decision for her and for Us but she get worse and finally me and my sister were at home and she begged that we go to her house and she really like it there ...then I understand and saw through her how vital and important is aging at your home, your comfort zone. And how it's important to have someone who loves and understand your need as u growing up. That was when I discover that I can put a smile on someone's face and with time I realized how making my client laugh changed their life's.am ready to offer my outmost service to your mother .Anytime you need help with any one in your house hold contact me.Thank you looking forward to hearing from you

I have been a caregiver for approximately 6 years now. I decided to become a caregiver because i believe that everyone deserves a good quality of life. I had a grandmother who lived to be 112 years of age and i took on the responsibility of caring for her. i am very compassionate about what i do and i do it to the best of my knowledge. My passion in life is to care for others, helping those who need to get better to be better and also for those who just need the companionship and making the transition easy for them. i have worked with various clients of all different age and i love what i do. I am a graduate student with a degree in psychology and planning on furthering my education. i have a 6 year old daughter and i am very family oriented. I am fully dedicated to my work and i guarantee my employers will have no regrets.
