About Melissa

I have been working in the health care since 1999. I have my CNA certification and also my CPR certification. I have always taking care of the elderly. My mom at the age of 38 pasted away from ALS , she was a single parent. I had to learn how to transfer her from and to the bed, to her chair, and also on the toilet. I was 10 through 12yrs old performing theses tasked to help her. I have learned a lot from those experience, and continued to go on with my education towards Healthcare. I love what I do. I'm very passionate, caring, and know I have to help the families take care of their loved ones when they are unable to do it themselves.I know how it is first hand to need that help, when I was at school friends and hospice would come in and take over. I love my patients and their families.

Hi, my name is Martha. I became a care giver because I am a caring, compassionate, and trustworthy individual with about 8 years of experience taking care of people in health care facilities or seniors in the comfort of their homes. I do enjoy caring for seniors because I do derive some satisfaction when I help elderly people feel loved, cared for and valued. I strongly believe that their lives should not be put on hold or or made feel undignified as a result of their age or any health challenge they may be experiencing. In doing my job effectively and wholeheartedly, I promote and encourage self worth, maintaining dignity, such that every client I work with, feels loved, cared for and appreciated as a valuable member of the community.
