About Melvina

I am a very patient care giver. I am an expert in dressing and bathing clients. I like to see them clean and tidy and living a normal life. I like being around the elderly because i receive more information because they are more experienced. What i enjoy most is bringing changes to their lives. My personal achievement is being in a team taking care of a lady that was in hospice and was given 6 months to live. A team of care givers was given an opportunity to take care of this client and she is still living over 2 years.

1. What actually makes me a great caregiver is my willingness to serve others and I believe it's my calling. 2. I became a caregiver because, I have great compassion for individuals in need of personal one on one care. 3. Their are several reasons why I like being a caregiver. The first reason is that I am able to be there for individuals that are in need of help. Another reason I enjoy being a caregiver is because, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer and after the cancer she went into remission. Shortly afterwards, she was diagnosed with dementia. Recently she was diagnosed with Parkinson. I eventually had to move her into my home and I realized how self fulfilling and rewarding it is to serve others with sincere humility. I feel that as a caregiver each individuals that I care for should receive the best of care, compassion, and the best quality of care that life has to offer. 4. My most greatest achievement is yet to come because, I'm looking to achieve more tomorrow than I have today. Life is a lifelong learning process and when you think that you have achieved your greatest achievement there is still room left for more improvement.
