About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Dedicated to supporting the independence and well-being of seniors, I bring 15 years of professional experience to my role as a caregiver. As a Certified Nursing Assistant and Certified Home Health Aide, I provide compassionate, detail-oriented support ranging from personal care and home health assistance to errands and physical activity. My approach centers on understanding your loved one's unique personal history and preferences to build a meaningful connection. I am highly skilled in memory care, including sensory engagement and managing behavioral changes with patience. I prioritize clear communication, providing verbal updates or following your preferred method to ensure you are always informed. Whether I am assisting with daily living tasks or adapting to changing routines, I am committed to making a positive, lasting impact. I look forward to treating your family members with the same warmth and respect I would offer my own.

Phoebe B. - I came to know Melissa as the caregiver of my oldest and dearest friend,who was suffering from a blood cancer.Whenever I visited which was fairly often,I observed her compassion attention and care with which she cared for my friend.i believe she was with her for 6 years,living with her and caring for her and her husband,who predeceased my friend by 2years.It appeared that nothing was too much for her! She became a valued and affectionate family member,not only doing all the shopping and household chores,but accompanying her to all her appointments,and then watching tennis matches with her in the evening! .As a person in my 80s myself,I would hope that Melissa would be available should I ever need a caretaker! I cannot recommend her highly enough-she is a sweetheart!
