About Melanie

I have worked with Alzheimer's patients and those with dementia from the age of 19 to age 30. I started in Wisconsin as a caregiver for New Perspectives. In a couple of years I became the live in for this group home. I helped with all daily cares and medication administration. I later received my CNA license and continued to work in Colorado and later Texas I was also flight attendant in between this time. At the age of 30, we had our first child and I have been an at home mother of three children since 2004. I love those that are affected by Alzheimers and now that my children are getting older, would love to work with them again.

My name is Susan Kiarie. I have been a caregiver and a Medication Aide for the past 17 years, both in facilities and in-home private care, especially with different forms of dementia like Alzheimers, Parkinson and lewy body. After the diagnosis of our mother with Alzheimers, I realized how much care she needed and in return I knew this is what I wanted to do. What I enjoy the most about caregiving, is seeing the relief of families when I am there to help, in the comfort of their homes. I am proud to say that in the past 7 years of private caregiving, I have had only referrals, which helps me know that I must be doing something right. Thank you.

I am a compassionate caregiver and have over 20 years experience. I enjoy helping my clients feel as independent as possible, truly taken care of, their needs and concerns addressed, and like a valuable person, not a number. I support and encourage the family (when appropriate). I'm good with most pets. I do not smoke, drink, or do drugs. I'm honest, trustworthy, and I WILL show up!
