About Melina
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi, My name is Melina. I am 31 years old and I was born and raised in a beautiful small island in the South Pacific called Fiji. I migrated to the United States and lived in Sonoma, Ca for 10 years but recently moved to location on March 2023 in respect of my husbands station by the Navy. I am proud to say that I have 10 years of experience and have gained skills and knowledge in health care including Alzheimer's care, Dementia, Parkinson's Disease, stroke, Pneumonia, Post acute care, hospice care and Daily Living. Activities including running errands, lighthouse keeping, laundry & folding, meal prepping, cooking, feeding, distributing of medications, assisting in the shower, and dressing etc. When I'm not taking care of your dear loved one, I am usually at home enjoying good music, cooking, doing crossword puzzles and cleaning. I also love creating art and crafts, DIY's and painting with my kids.
Most recent review
I cannot express how much it meant to me to know my dad was in your care overnight. While the rest of the world slept, you were a steady, gentle presence—watching over him with quiet dedication. Your attentiveness, especially during those fragile nighttime hours when he would sundown, brought me immense comfort. You were incredibly responsive during any medical episodes, and you never hesitated to reach out or adjust your approach when needed. I always slept better knowing you were there. You anticipated needs, respected his dignity, and went above and beyond—even offering thoughtful insights that helped shape better overall care. You are a rare and gifted caregiver, and I hope you know the difference you made for my dad and our family. I highly recommend Melina. We were certainly blessed to have her support during the last 10 months of my Dad's life.
