About Melissa

What makes me a great giver is my compassionate heart. My clients and I tend to become attached and always seem to develop a close-knit relationship - like family. I became a caregiver when my mother's Multiple Sclerosis went into remission. I realized I needed to help others as well. I enjoy caregiving because it is the most rewarding and fulfilling career I have ever known. For each and every year I was employed at my former employer, I was nominated as caregiver of the year by my supervisors - it is a nationwide award and honor.
