About Melissa

My names Melissa, I have 8 years of experience. I work hard at everything I do. I'm a very compassionate and caring person. I also help take care of my father who is a veteran. The last 6 years I have been a caregiver to a disabled man thru DORS. Duties included medication reminders, cooking, cleaning, bathroom help, laundry, running errands, grocery shop, appointment reminders, and helping with bill paying. Before that, I took care a another disabled elderly man until his family put him in Hospice. I like being a caregiver because I love helping people, I like learning about others lives and history. Taking care of others has always been my passion. I am available Monday - Friday 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. and I do have my own car.

Everyone I come in contact with loves to talk with me! I'm a very energetic person with lots of smiles. I provide care to others when they can't help themselves. I love what I do and have a passion for what I do. I like to make a difference in other people's life. Myself I believe the love and care you give to other person represents who you are as a person. I'm very dependable and I have no problem with working a lot of hours when needed, I'm always available. As many years as I have been a nursing assistant I have never had someone say anything negative about me. My bosses have always had great things to say about me as a person and an employee as well as my co workers too. I own my own vehicle with insurance and can do anything I am asked. I have experience in hospital,nursing Home, assisted living, and home care settings. I have experience Cath removal and insert as well as oxygen tanks tubing and all equipment. I have cared for patient with diabetes and checking sugar and reminding and administrating medication to patients. I have great references and work history if needed. I'm also FIRST AID/CPR certified and I have just finished Medical Assisting classes, will be taking the state test this year as well.
