About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
Taking care of the elderly bring new meaning, compassion, love, caring and understanding to all that I had the pleasure to work with. Each individual is so unique in their own way of life and being part of that makes my job worthwhile. I have 18 years experience working as a Certify Nursing Assistant with elderly patients, who has been diagnose with Cancer , Chronic illness and Alzheimer diseases . Each patient was truly honored to have me as their caregiver. I schedule doctor's appointment, run errands, do meal prep, do baths/showers & groom, also laundry / light housekeeping and drive patient to doctor visits, activities or social events. I am attentive to all medication taken and has a knowledge of their side effects. I also keep a log on patient with high blood pressure, monitor heart rate , temperature and oxygen levels, I strongly encourage and assist clients with physical exercise for strength and flexibility.
Most recent review
Melissa cared for my mom for 6 years with compassion, skill, and what turned into mutual love. She became family. She handled everything reliably: fresh, home-cooked meals, getting Mom to and from appointments, and managing her medical needs with care and attention. She also spent time with her — watching the news and favorite shows together — which meant as much as the hands-on help. When Mom entered hospice, Melissa stayed by her side constantly in her final weeks. That's not in any job description — that's love. If you're looking for a caregiver who is skilled, dependable, and will treat your family member like her own, Melissa is that person.
