About Melissa

I'm currently a nursing student in clinical rotations to obtain my license as a registered nurse. I have a BLS for healthcare certification and I also have clear state and federal background checks along with vehicle license checks. After taking care of my grandmother in her last year, I found a real passion for providing care for those who need it in their home setting. I am able to empathize with families and those I'm taking care of in ways other may not. I'm energetic, kind, and willing to go the extra mile to ensure that I'm helping clients to turn their lives into living!

I have always since a little girl wanted to be a nurse. I started in elementary helping the I.U 13 classes with recess, bus, and gym buddies. In 1997 I took a 2 week course and got my CNA. In the past 22 years I have met a lot of different people in the nursing field. Some that can communicate verbally others can't. Some can show emotions others can't. I've worked for people my age, older and younger. I give the same care and respect to each one. Maybe showed a little more love to some that had no one else in there life. I love being a personal care assistant, I enjoy meeting new people and helping them progress in life. Even if its just getting ready for the day. I enjoy to see them smile.

My dad got really sick about four years ago, and ever since I've basically been watching him die slowly everyday! So ever since then, I've been committed to not only help him but help other families get through tough times, mainly because I wish someone would have helped me. Plus, I love people, and I have always found helping people very rewarding, so why not do it for a living?
