About Melissa

Experience: 7 yrs

Making a positive difference in someone's life is what drives me as a caregiver. With 15 years of experience supporting adults and seniors, I've learned that patience and empathy are key. I'm skilled at adapting to changing routines, de-escalating stressful situations, and incorporating memory care activities. I provide transportation, run errands, prepare meals, assist with light housekeeping, and offer dementia and medical management support. I communicate with families through written reports and verbal updates, always respecting their preferred method. Building trust and ensuring comfort is important to me. I am CPR and first aid certified and comfortable with pets.

Melissa cared for my mother-in-law for almost 1 1/2 years. She went out of her way to help - even shopping for specialty items. She regularly helped with P T. Exercises, yoga stretches, personal hygiene needs, cleaning, and meals. She visited with my mother-in-law and became quite acquainted with her. Melissa was a wonderful caregiver!
