About Melba
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello, my name is Melba! I began my caregiving journey in 2010 with the aim of making a difference in the lives of seniors. For those requiring high levels of care, my support is invaluable. I believe in providing attentive, proper, and respectful care to ensure they maintain their dignity and independence in their later years. Helping seniors and others is incredibly rewarding for me. Turning a challenging day into a good one is a significant accomplishment. Caregiving has taught me so much through listening to the experiences and stories that people share. These memories are priceless, offering insights and transporting me to different times and perspectives. For me, this opportunity gives life more meaning. By connecting with individuals in such a profound way, we learn to appreciate and empathize with others more deeply. It's about being a supportive and encouraging presence when someone needs it most.
Most recent review
I cannot say enough excellent things about Melba. She was beyond wonderful in caring for my Mom, who died from a non-contagious lung condition this past May. Melba was loved by my Mom, and by the rest of my family. She was the only ray of sunshine that seemed to emerge during my Mom's difficult time this past spring. Melba goes above and beyond in caring for the loved one, and also helps with various chores around the home. She has a beautiful, positive attitude, and not only helped my Mom with day-to-day activities (i.e., nebulizer treatments, exercise routines, nutrition, bathing, toileting), but pampered my Mom and showered her with love. She is never idle and helps out in any way she can in the home. When I interviewed to find a caregiver to help my Mom, I spoke with several of Melba's previous and current clients, who gave her superb reviews. My family shares this sentiment, and upon meeting her, we hired her on the spot. I am glad to provide phone references for anyone who might be considering hiring Melba. I give Melba the highest rating possible.
