About Melissa

Experience: 5 yrs

I have hands-on senior care experience, including caring for my own father who required support due to dementia. Through this experience, I developed patience, empathy, and a deep understanding of how important calm communication and consistency are. I'm comfortable providing companionship, supervision, and emotional support, especially for individuals who may have difficulty communicating. I understand the value of being a good listener and offering reassurance, whether that means sitting together, watching television, engaging in simple conversation, or maintaining familiar routines. I prioritize dignity, safety, and comfort at all times and approach caregiving with kindness and respect. My experience has taught me how meaningful a steady, compassionate presence can be in a senior's daily life.
