Making a difference in people's lives is what drives me. For the past nine years, I've been dedicated to supporting the well-being and independence of adults and seniors through respite care, hospice services, and assistance with errands, shopping, and personal care. My approach is rooted in compassion, empathy, and a commitment to providing professional, detail-oriented care. I'm experienced in adapting to changing routines, handling confusion, and incorporating memory care activities. I prioritize understanding each person's preferences and history to build a strong connection. I always follow the family's preferred communication methods. Light housekeeping, meal preparation, and physical activity are services I provide. I look forward to bringing my skills and positive energy to your family.

She is an awesome caretaker!  She cooks, cleans, interacts with the patient. My dad just loves her!  And, yes, we will be haviving her back!

My dad hired Melissa to help him care for his wife as she was failing in health and eventually died at home with hospice. My dad couldn't have kept his wife at home until her passing without Melissa's help. She was kind, gracious, and compassionate to my stepmom and to my Dad. Our entire family is grateful for her care.  I don't typically write reviews but Melissa was exceptional and I would highly recommend her as a Caregiver.

She is a gem. Her kindness, empathy and abilities all complement her work. I would recommend her to anyone in need of the BEST care.
God bless her for her help with our family members.

Melissa is, in our family's opinion, an angel sent to care for people.  Not only did she help my father-in-law with his wife's medical needs, but she cooked and ate meals with them, and performed household duties.  She provided companionship, which led to real friendship.  Any client that Melissa works with should feel comforted knowing that she TRULY CARES about her clients.  This is her calling.

Melissa is a compassionate, caring, and extremely capable caregiver.  And she is a great cook!  We couldn't be more pleased with her care of my elderly mother.

Melissa is a saint. Her care for our family has been a ministry rather than a job. She has been kind, reliable, and remarkably thoughtful during our mother's long illness-a member of the family, really-and it made all the difference in being able to provide our mother's care in the home. We will always be grateful.

Melissa is exceptional.  What she provides is behind just basic care. She truly cares about the people she looks after and is in frequent communication with family members to tell us how they are doing.

Melissa is very dependable, very nurturing, and a wonderful cook. She has made great suggestions on how to enhance the safety of the living quarters, clothing ideas, and improvements for quality of life. We are very happy to have Mellisa "join our family".

Melissa is a very good cook and a very kind and caring person!

Melissa is friendly, joyful, dependable, and a hard worker. She is an excellent communicator and serves her clients with love. She cooks delicious meals and provides the personal care her client needs all while taking care of many long-overdue cleaning projects in the house.  We couldn't ask for a better caregiver!

Melissa is like a breath of fresh air! She makes the days go by quickly and happily. Her professionalism, personality, empathy and sympathy along with hard work makes her not only a wonderful human being but a great caregiver. Anyone looking for a hard worker and problem solver along with the other traits stated above would be remiss in not interviewing her. Melissa it's a great addition to any home.

It is difficult to find words to describe how much Melissa means to us. It begins with the caring way she begins the day by meeting the personal needs of my 103 year old, early stage dementia mother-in-law. Melissa also is a blessing in the way she is more than a care taker but more like a sister in the way she interacts with my wife who happens to be an only child
As for me her kind, considerate, serving spirit says it all. I cannot imagine having anyone better than Melissa to welcome into our home and family

Great job, thanks for the short notice appointment!

She is a hard worker and just all around  great  person, an asset to anyone.

Wow! I received amazing care from Melissa. She has helped me while recovering from multiple surgeries. Cooking, cleaning, helping keep me comfortable-she was fantastic. I was able to recover in peace with her in the house knowing she would take phenomenal care of my household chores(including laundry) ,grocery shopping, and my family-even my puppy! She also helped me after my baby was born. Birth is hard enough, but her loving touch helped me and my baby figure out breastfeeding and a new routine. She even took care of my newborn so I could take much needed naps and showers! I can't thank her enough for giving me peace of mind and helping me with my self care- teaching me many things about myself, as a new mother, and my baby. I would highly recommend Melissa for any care needs you have. She does it all! I will always go to her for any of my care needs!

Melissa is very hard-working and caring! I would highly recommend her

We hired Melissa to care for our mom.  We also hired a service.  I would have hired 100 Melissa she was personable and caring.  She would actually do cooking (not just microwave meals) and my mom loved her cooking.  She is flexible. She would take on more hours to help us when someone from the service company was not available.  We trusted her and she became a part of our family.  I personally counted on her to meet with hospice when they came to check on mom.  She would tell hospice what was going on and was a great representative for my mom and for our family.  My mom is in a long term care facility now.  Our family is very lucky to have found Melissa.

Melissa helped me in my home after the birth of my child.  She was very professional and pleasant.  She helped clean the house, cook meals, watch after my other children and help me with the baby.  She was full of knowledge on tips for caring for the baby and took a load of household duties off my back so I could focus on my newborn.  I would recommend her to anyone.
