About Melissa

I became a cna because I love taking care of people. There are always stories to hear and lives to touch. I also feel that my life is touched by them just the same. I have Alzheimer and dementia training. I was choosen as employee of the month at my current home health care employer. I have 2 children and enjoying crocheting, cooking/baking and enjoy a good conversation. My education in nursing and training in the ICU setting, I feel make me a wonderful fit for the tasks required. My compassion for what I love to do speaks volumes.

I am a wife, mother of 4, and registered nurse. I substitute nurse in an area private school. My belief is that I would make a terrific senior care giver as I have a dear love of elderly people . I would be most interested in daytime care that might include walking, driving to appts, shopping with or for and meal preparation as well . Pets are no problem. Limited to daytime and early eve on a part time basis.
