About Melanie

Im from Warren, Ohio, one of seven children. I moved to Florida with my husband and 2 children, when my daughter was accepted at UCF. Nursing has been my lifes calling. My Mother had dementia and we cared for her at home, in familar surroundings. With my hospital experience, a great doctor, Vitas, & my familys help, we accomplished what she had wanted. That experience has enlightened me, and I know I belong in a homecare setting. Im dependable, caring and experienced.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE being a caregiver!! It started when my grandmother was sick and had a stroke. I helped take care of her, along with my Uncle. I then decided that I wanted to help others from pediatrics to seniors. My favorite are the seniors! I enjoy making them smile, laugh, feel at ease, and keep them less stressed or worried about getting their daily activities completed. I have been a caregiver for more than 20 years and I love it!! I enjoy hearing about their lives growing up and stories of today! I can not see myself doing anything else than helping people the best that I can as a caregiver.
