About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

With a background in caregiving, education and developmental support, I bring a calm, patient and dependable presence to the individuals and families I work with. I have experience supporting those with developmental differences, including assistance with daily living skills, social engagement and maintaining consistent, comfortable routines. I understand that companion care is not only about completing tasks, but about building trust and creating a safe, respectful environment. I am attentive, responsible and personable, while maintaining appropriate structure, safety awareness and clear boundaries. My goal is always to support independence while ensuring safety and reliability.
