About Melinda

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

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 did a wonderful job caring for our aging parents during a challenging time. She stepped in after my dad's second hospitalization and immediately knew how to care for and comfort my parents during a very stressful time. When we decided it was time to move them to assisted living, Melinda was able to help my parents process this major change and move forward. She is a gem. Highly recommend!
