About Melissa

Hello! My name is Melissa but I go by Missy. I am an experienced caregiver. I started my healthcare journey after graduating highschool in 2005 first working in a nursing home with alzheimer/dementia individuals. I then moved on to working with individuals one on one (in-home) with 2 different companies, and also worked full-time in a facility with 4 intellectually disabled individuals. I am a certified PSS and DSP among many other certifications. I am very friendly, responsible, honest, and hardworking. I love the healthcare field and expanding my knowledge in the field anyway I can. I was voted #1 employee of my entire company at my previous place of employment and also received awards for no missed days many quarters in a row. I am looking for part time work. I hope to hear from and meet families as soon as possible!:) If I forgot to mention anything please reach out. I am an open book! I have a perfect background check as well as driving history, valid license, and reliable vehicle.
