About Melisa

Experience: 10 yrs

For over a decade, I've dedicated my career to supporting adults and seniors. As a Certified Nursing Assistant for more than 25 years, I bring extensive experience from both in-home and care facility settings. My approach is rooted in patience, compassion, and a detail-oriented professionalism. I understand the importance of clear communication, so I provide families with regular updates through written reports, verbal check-ins, and text or phone calls. When connecting with care recipients, I focus on understanding their individual preferences and personal history. I am skilled in de-escalating stressful situations, managing confusion or agitation, and incorporating memory care activities. I am ready to provide personal care, light housekeeping, and specialized dementia care. I have a high school degree. I also have current CPR and First Aid certifications. I have a car. I genuinely love what I do, and I look forward to bringing my experience and heartfelt care to your family.
