Care. com introduction I have over 10 years of medical experience working in a clinic, hospital, and as a private care giver, also providing overnight care as well. I have had male and female patients, ages ranging from 18yrs old to 110. I specialize and most knowledgeable with Dementia and Alzheimer's, special disabilities, special needs adults and children in-home and facilities , and 1:1 care with patients in hospice. I have been recently trained to care for adult quadriplegics. I provide overnight care for Caregiver relief or evening respite care for family members.

    Melissa is one of a kind with a HUGE heart! We connected from the very moment we met. She is dependable, reliable, and very knowledgeable in caring for my son. She gives him nothing but the best TLC. She stays connected while I was away by giving me updates too which is an added plus. I highly recommend Melissa!!!!!!!!!!!
