About Melvin

I put my all in providing care for others. I am patient, compassionate, attentive, dependable, and trustworthy. After I was Honorably discharged from the Military, my best friend who was in the Marine Corps with me, was diagnosed with ALS. Spending time with his family and caretakers gave me a new found prospective on what I wanted to do as a career. They exemplified all of the personality traits that I've mentioned above and that's what I saw in myself. I enjoy making a difference in people's lives. The gratification from this is rewarding. Caring for 24 Individuals with various physical and mental health disabilities and being a role model, caregiver, big brother, and their Residential Director for 7 years. I am very proud to have served them and they will always hold a special place in my heart.

I always loved to help others and with the lost of my father I realized how hard the last few years with him was and how little help I had with the other pressures in life it took a toll so I quit my job to stay home with my dad and I seen the difference that hands on and love made with him and I knew then this was what I was meant to do in life share my love and compassion with others

I am an experienced caregiver with impeccable references. In my last 2 positions, I assumed the role of house manager. I have provided care for 2 patients with dementia, 1 patient with low mobility due to rheumatoid arthritis and an end stage heart disease patient requiring oxygen 24/7. I had an extensive background check with my most recent employer and had a thorough background check as well as fingerprinting when I worked as a claims adjuster for USAA. I am reliable, trustworthy, caring, understanding, patient and detail oriented. I will be more than happy and proud to provide references.
