About Melanie
Experience: 25 yrs
Supporting the independence and well-being of seniors has been my lifelong passion for the past 25 years. My approach to care is rooted in patience, empathy, and a calm demeanor, ensuring your loved ones feel supported and respected. I hold a college degree and maintain current CPR training and First Aid certification. I am highly skilled in dementia care, including redirecting attention during moments of confusion and adapting to changing routines. Whether I am assisting with personal care, meal preparation, or transportation, I prioritize earning trust to build a meaningful connection. I maintain open communication with families through regular text updates, phone calls, and detailed daily reports. I am dedicated to providing reliable, compassionate care that honors your family's needs. I truly look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your loved one's daily life and happiness.

I look forward to having Melanie work for us as needed and when her schedule permits. She was a delight to meet in person, has a heart for her older clients, great references and is very knowledgeable about their diabetic needs and monitoring. Beth M.
