About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Available for evenings Hello! I have over 30 years of experience caring for and assisting the elderly in institutional/residential settings. I credit a lot of my knowledge to working in a family Adult Foster Care Home from a young age, was trained by an RN, and have seen many types of situations. Some of my best attributes are maturity, common sense, competence, reliability, honesty and integrity. I'm comfortable with most situations and make a great engaging and friendly companion with good communication skills. I'd consider myself very fluent in interacting with seniors as I've been doing it most of my life. My skill set and abilities are broad and I'm very detail and quality-oriented.
