About Melissa

Experience: 1 yr

I'm a caring, dependable senior caregiver with a big heart, a good sense of humor, and a knack for putting people at ease. While I'm newer to professional senior care, I bring a wealth of general caregiving experience, genuine empathy, and the ability to stay calm in any situation. I'm a great listener, quick to find solutions in a pinch, and show up ready to make the day brighter and safer for the people I care for. I'd describe my personality as chatty, witty, personable. I like caring for seniors because I always learn a lot talking with them and we have the same taste in tv. We usually have a great time making each other laugh. I'm looking for a job that allows me to connect one on one with someone who might otherwise be lonely. I like to be able to be a little bit of light and also help provide support where I'm needed. One thing you should know about me is I'm in good in a crisis, very reliable, and generally able to handle a lot being thrown at me.

Melissa cared for my mom as if she were her own family. She was gentle, patient, and always attentive to Mom’s needs—whether it was helping her get around safely, preparing her favorite meals, or simply sitting with her to share stories and laughter. Melissa’s warmth and compassion brought comfort not just to Mom, but to our whole family. Knowing she was there gave us such peace of mind during a time when it meant the most.
