About Melissa

Hi there, I'm Melissa. I'm a 34 year old mother and foster mother/adoptive mother. I've been caring for children for years and almost two years ago my father had a stroke. He moved in with us and I became his full time caregiver. I discovered a passion for helping adults (I already had one for children) live the best quality of life possible. I've got experience with many different diagnoses and medical equipment and am equally capable at reading the morning paper to someone, helping a client bathe, or running errands. I want to see disabled/elderly adults be treated with compassion and understanding so that they have the dignity of life that we all deserve.
