About Melissa

What makes me a great caregiver is that i love helping other. Taking care of people is something i am really good at. Attending to there needs. Not of a lot of people have family that can make them happy or take care of them and thats where i step in. I bacame a caregiver because i have seen a lot of people who can't do for them self, and who are so alone and who need lots of help and attention. I just love what i do it makes every day of my life so much better. Just to know that every one in this world has somebody out there, whether if its family friends or caregiver. Thats what gets me by.

Since I was young I always loved taking care of others. I became a caregiver simply because I love to care for people. I especially love the elderly. Being a caregiver makes me feel good about myself, and just knowing I can help someone who needs it makes me proud. I like to make people feel accepted and cared for. A personal achievement I am proud of myself for accomplishing would be going to school to become a Certified Medical Assistant, and dedicating my time to my grandmother the last three months of her life. My passion is the elderly because I feel like I can learn and grow so much from their knowledge and experiences. I am very honest, caring, loving, and trustworthy.
