Hello, my name is Melinda, and I have over 25 years of personal experience as a caregiver. I am experienced with cancer patients, hospice, alzheimer's, dementia, and post-operative care. My skills include bathing, toileting, incontinence, hygiene, dressing, shaving, ambulation, mobility/ exercise, and medication reminders. I take accurate records of the day & will keep family members informed. I am a great cook & can prepare home-cooked meals including those on dietary restrictions. I am happy to help w/ light housekeeping such as laundry, changing bed linens & vacuuming. I own a reliable vehicle, have a clean background/driving record, and have been live scanned/fingerprinted/registered with the state. I am very kind, compassionate, encouraging, and very patient. I always treat those in my care with love and respect as if I'm caring for my own family. I prefer to work with loving and kind busy families who need support/respite care. Please email me for my most current availability.

Melinda helped take care of my mom, 94 and my wife who has dementia and is bedridden. Both during the same shift. Melinda is compassionate and has a concern for the well being of the entire family trying to keep the situation as stress free as possible at all times. It's a real balancing act with 2 patients but she did a wonderful job.
