About Melissa

I became a caregiver in 2003. I decided I wanted to be a caregiver when I had to provide care for my son who was born premature. What I like about being a caregiver is the satisfaction I get when I help someone in need. One of my personal acheivements that I am proud of is getting a college degree in Medical Assisting. I am a certified Patient Care Technician, CNA, and a certified HHA. I am a very compassionate, reliable, dedicated, and dependable person.
