About Melissa

0

Making a difference in people's lives is what I'm passionate about. With over 20 years of experience in child, adult and senior care, I specialize in autism and disability care as a certified Home Health Aide dedicated to providing compassionate support. My goal is to understand each care recipient's unique preferences and history to build a strong connection. I'm skilled at adapting to changing routines, de-escalating stressful situations, and handling confusion with patience and empathy. I offer respite care, help with errands, light housekeeping, meal preparation, medical management, and mobility assistance. I always follow the family's preferred communication method. I am trained in CPR and First Aid. and have taken a wealth of classes, receiving certifications across the board in early childhood education, working with the disabled as well as, child and senior care. Im looking for a rewarding job with purpose beyond just a paycheck.

Melissa cared for two of my adult children with special needs. She has a heart of gold that is something you can find every day. She fell in love with my children and did special things for them all the time. She made holidays joy filled, played their most cherished games and danced if they wanted to. Melissa cared deeply about those she comes across and will treat your loved ones like family. She’s a gem. Can’t say enough good about this woman and the love she showers your family with. 🩷💐
