About Melissa

Taking care of people is part of who I am. I am a wife, mother of 5 and grammy of 6 beautiful grandkids. I have over 30 years in caregiver experience. I have worked in doctors offices, hospitals, ICU's, assisted living, hospice and home health environments. I truly enjoy making a difference in the lives of others. I currently work with a family that has two special needs children, and also take care of my parents that have stage 4 cancer. I managed an assisted living facility for several years and this is what prompts me to seek a caregiver role inside the home. Unfortunately, many of these places care more about the profits than they do caring for peoples loved ones. I want to make a difference. I want to provide the type of care that I would want for my own grandparents. It is a privilege to be entrusted with someones parent or grandparent.
