About Melissa

I became a great caregiver due to my grandmother she 97 years old, she a strong beautiful lady that really needed help so I took that position and love it.. What I like about being a caregiver my grandmother always told me is good to help other because one day you gonna need help I love the fact that everyone got there own personality yes you gonna have a person that don't want to listen but as a caregiver you have to accept that in love them unconditionally.. My name is Melissa Gonzalez I have 4 wonderful kids I been interested to be a caregiver because it was a incidents that one of a caregiver was treating my grandmother wrong and it hurts me in my heart that there are people out here that does that its not there fault everyone have to appreciate that everyday you wake up another day and be bless about it.. When I seen that happen I took that job and care for her I never seen my grandma shine when she seen me doing a excellent job.. My goals is to be the best caregiver there is and to put a smile on each and everyone..
