About Melina
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi, I'm Melina! Originally from the beautiful islands of Fiji, I spent 11 years in California before my family and I relocated to Virginia in 2023 for my husband's service in the U. S. Navy. I'm a preschool teacher and a certified Nursing Assistant/Home Care Aide, so caring for others isn't just my job--it's genuinely who I am. Whether I'm working with little ones or supporting seniors, I strive to create a safe, patient, and encouraging environment where people feel valued and cared for. Family is at the heart of everything I do, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust to care for the people you love. I love cooking, kayaking, painting, or catching up with friends over brunch. I bring a calm, positive energy wherever I go and believe the little things--kindness, reliability, and genuine connection--make all the difference. I'd love the opportunity to support your family and provide dependable, compassionate care you can feel confident in.
Most recent review
I cannot express how much it meant to me to know my dad was in your care overnight. While the rest of the world slept, you were a steady, gentle presence—watching over him with quiet dedication. Your attentiveness, especially during those fragile nighttime hours when he would sundown, brought me immense comfort. You were incredibly responsive during any medical episodes, and you never hesitated to reach out or adjust your approach when needed. I always slept better knowing you were there. You anticipated needs, respected his dignity, and went above and beyond—even offering thoughtful insights that helped shape better overall care. You are a rare and gifted caregiver, and I hope you know the difference you made for my dad and our family. I highly recommend Melina. We were certainly blessed to have her support during the last 10 months of my Dad's life.
