About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Making a difference in people's lives is what drives me. I am a mom of grown professional adults. For the past 10 years, I've had the privilege of supporting children, adults and seniors, fostering their independence and well-being. My approach is rooted in patience, compassion, and creating a comfortable environment for those in my care. I'm experienced in adapting to changing routines, de-escalating stressful situations, and handling confusion or behavioral changes that may arise. I'm happy to help with transportation, errands, light housekeeping, and meal preparation. I also maintain current CPR and RBT Certifications. . I always prioritize open communication with families, following their preferred method to keep them informed. and I'm eager to bring my skills and experience to your family, ensuring your loved one receives the best possible care.

Melissa helped watch our 4 1/2 month old for 1 week. She was very prompt and super responsive. She was very full of life. My baby was giggling and babbling with her all day.
