About Melinda

I am extremely compassionate and enjoy helping those in need. I'm very friendly and down to earth. My great aunt passed away in a nursing facility and I was not able to leave my job in sales at the time to care for her. The poor care she received is what motivates me today to provide quality care. I enjoy getting to know the client and being able to assist them in performing daily activites. Caregiving reminds me that at some point in time we will all need someone.

So writing about myself is a little weird, but let me start by saying this is my God calling. I have left taking care of people and tried different things but nothing fulfills me like caring for other people in their time of need. I am bubbly, and very knowledgeable in job.

First there is God, with God you can become a caregiver, he put love in your heart for people, all people.i have 5 children plus 3 step children and 29 grandchildren all together a lot of love going on. There are a lot of people out there that need a lot of taking care of and they need someone that cares. What I like about being a caregiver is the love that you get in return, not all the time in difficult cases but you know it's there. My personal achievement is when I went to Miller-Motte to become a phlebotomist while working a full time and part time job I look back now and wonder how I made it.
