Hello my name is Melissa I am a positive energetic fun individual who enjoys caring for people with various illness, diagnosis, and handicaps. I have 20+ yrs experience in this field and 13 yrs as a licensed vocational nurse. My nursing experience has been primarily in long term care facility's AKA nursing homes. I also have experience with individuals with developmental disabilities and traumatic brain injury in a group home settings. I would like to be able to provide more 1:1 care as the facility's nurse to resident ratio is overwhelming at times and stressful. I will help with all aspects daily care including but not limited to bathing, medications, cooking cleaning and companionship. I will treat your loved one with the dignity and respect they deserve!! This is more than just a job to me I like to make a difference and hope to develop great relationships with the people I care for..
