About Melissa

I am a great caregiver! I am able to assess patients needs quickly. I think making someone feel their best is what we joined the medical field for! I have 4 siblings and help care for both of my elderly parents with cares, medical appts, bills and things like this. I cook and help clean when they need. This is very special to me and probably what I am most proud of. These experiences have helped me to care for others. I have a great deal of patience and kindness needed to assist others.
