Hello. My name is Melissa. I used to work in assisted living facilities back in the early 2000s. I have experience with the elderly along with alzheimer disease. My grandmother moved in with my family. I took care of her for about 7 years until she passed away 3 years ago. In the time I have taken care of someone in the last years of their life, I feel like I have helped them whether it is just sitting and listening to them talk about old times or helping with daily needs. I am proud of my 4 children. Through having to stay at our restaurant 6 days of the week, going to school and doing their homework, and going through the transition of life with their great-grandmother. They are tough and I am so proud of them.

I became a caregiver because of my love for people and helping others. I am proud of graduating high school and becoming a CNA. I am also proud of my little daughter, she has changed my life so much.

I worked in skilled nursing facilities rehabilitation units as certified nursing assistant for 15 yrs. I stayed at home with my children for the last 3 years and my CNA lapsed. I love to hear the stories from the people I care for. I was hand selected at a certain nursing home by the owner to open the state of the art rehabilitation center out of 120 applicants, and never put in for the position!

I am a sweet, empathetic, caring, compassionate healthcare worker. I take care of my patients with the best care. Treat my patients with respect and dignity. Everywhere I have worked everyone loves me.

I cared for my grandmother when I was 16, I wanted to be able to care for my mom if something happened to her. I feel close to elderly people I love taking care of them. I care for my 84 year old aunt for my cousin sometimes to help out the family.

I have been a caregiver to adults & children since I was 16 years old. That is why I decided to become a CNA. Have over 10 years experience. I love to help & offer companionship to people of all ages. Have stayed with & helped with hospice care for 2 people that died of cancer.
