About Melissa

The personality traits that help me to be a great caregiver is patience and being present. If you're not at work then you can't help others. The things that attracted me to be a caregiver is seeing how I can make a difference in other people lives. I had to help take care of my mother since I was 9 years old once she got sick. The thing I love most about being a caregiver is seeing how I can help make other people lives easier and better for them.

I have provided holistic wellness and hospice comfort for seniors in their homes since 2017. By holistic, I mean to include the care of the spirit, soul, and body. I like to motivate and help seniors to find joy in daily life. I guide the client to work through daily challenges and to have peace in their hearts! I love to cook and bake from scratch from different cultures. I also provide light cleaning, doctor's appointments, essential transport, etc. Each client has their healthcare needs and may have a specific health condition. This is very important and discussed thoroughly from the beginning, and I maintain a dynamic routine custom planned for each client, with primary consideration and communication with their medical provider. I include exercise and encourage a walk in the fresh air as possible. I love challenges and love to meet my clients' needs. My goal is to make seniors and their families happy. I have experience with Dementia, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's disease. Also, with Depression, loneliness, and grief. I helped veterans, and I am familiar with the needs of Kosher homes.

I'm a seasoned veteran when it comes to caring for people with and without disabilities. I have a true passion for caring for others with 15 years experience. I have experience in pharmaceutical, companionship, hospice care, home care, running medical appointments as well as errands and shopping. I'm very reliable, compassionate and a trustworthy caregiver. I'm available seven days a week during the day and night. I love interacting with people playing puzzles, cards, going out to movies with the clients. I am fingerprinted and background checked by the State of New Jersey with credentials and references. Caring for others makes me feel so good at the end of the day. Knowing I can make somebody's day special is a blessing.
