About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a professional healthcare provider transitioning into a dedicated elderly caregiving role. I have a graduate degree and coursework in Geriatrics. Over 10 years of experience providing care and support to elderly individuals in both family and community settings. I am passionate about supporting the comfort, dignity, and well-being of older adults. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable, and I am certified in First Aid and CPR. Providing reliable, compassionate, and respectful care is very important to me, and I would welcome the opportunity to support you or your loved one.

She stepped in last minute to take care of my aunt when her caregiver had to leave unexpectedly. My aunt has dementia and is particular about who comes in to care for her. She took to Melissa right away. She has such a warm and lovely personality. She assisted with meal preparations and light tidying up. She also motivated my aunt to get dressed up and put on her makeup and go out on the town. We are so lucky to have found her! We are so thankful she was able to assist us temporarily but we will be reaching out again to have her fill in as needed. She is fantastic!
