About Melissa

I had the opportunity to become a caregiver in 2012 to a wonderful 90 year old woman, inside her home. She needed help with ADL's, medication management and administration, travel to medical appointments, etc. She became more of a companion than an employer and I enjoyed this work and working with with her very much. I was a liaison between she and her family and eventually hospice when it came to be her time. It was an amazing experience and one I will forever cherish. A little about me. I have spent many years in the healthcare field. Most of my time was spent at Emanuel Hospital where I worked as an ER Technician and Unit Secretary, in the Emergency Room, Neurologic Trauma Inpatient Unit and the Adult Trauma ICU. I aided the physicians and staff in caring for all types of patients, in all aspects of their care. I'm responsible, stable and very confident in my abilities! Fun, healthy and willing to learn new challenges. I have a reliable car and very clean driving record.

Hi I'm Nikiea and I provide quality care for people of all walks of life. I became a caregiver looking for experience to enter into the hospital field. Once I got here is just absolutely loved taking care of people it just comes natural to me. I have been in this film for just about 6 years now and I was awarded DSP of the year 2017 for the state of Oregon. Helping people in their daily lives and getting them out and about to explore the community really moves me. I love helping people become their best selves.
