About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

I am available for part-time or fill-in senior care. I have experience assisting seniors with personal care and daily activities. I am comfortable with seniors dealing with varying levels of memory problems. I am physically able to handle balance problems or partial lifting to transfer or stand during bathing, toileting and daily activities. I am efficient helping with cooking, cleaning, pet care and laundry to keep things running smoothly and always respecting your family members preferences. If thickened liquids, ground or soft food are required, I am experienced. I slow down and adjust to seniors always communicating by words and actions that meeting their needs and preferences is truly a pleasure. I am up beat and fun, as well as super patient and accommodating. I have a knack for focusing on the positives, reassuring and redirecting at the right times. I enjoy reading aloud or reminiscing. I will care for your family member as my own.
