About Melissa

I work in a nursing home and I do hospice and do private sitting on the side. I really enjoy my job and taking care of the elderly. I do have a child his name is matthew and he is 1 and I sometimes takee him to the nursing home and they just love him and enjoy him. He is a happy baby. I started out in home healthcare and took care of my uncle that was diagnose with lung cancer. So I went back to school for my CNA.

    I have been a caregiver for over 25 years and I love it. My mother was a Home Health Nurse and took me with her sometimes and I would see how just little things would make her clients so happy and knew that is what I wanted to do. I have worked for Visiting Angels for almost 8 years and I'm still there, but they don't have many hours right now. I am certified on Alzhelimer and Dementia care, I also have my CPR certification. I can take your loved one to Doctor Appointments and report the doctor's instructions to the family, go on outing and doing whatever they choose to do. I have multiple letters from family members about how well I take care of their family members and they have also sent the letters to Visiting Angels. I love what I do so I guess that's why I don't look at it as just a job. I have always treated my clients as I would want someone to treat my loved one
