About Melissa

Experience: 8 yrs

Making a difference in people's lives is what I'm all about. With eight plus years of experience providing care, I'm dedicated to supporting the well-being and independence of all my clients. My background includes personal care, light housekeeping, meal preparation, mobility assistance, errands, and medical management and household management. I also have experience supporting those with dementia and Parkinsons. I'm patient, compassionate, and friendly. I prioritize understanding each person's personal, cultural, and religious preferences to make sure they receive the highestqualityofcare. I adapt to changing routines, de-escalate stressful situations, and handle confusion with a calm approach. I have my Oregon state CNA, CPR and First Aid certifications. I am a non smoker and come from a pet free environment. I dont mind working with your animals. I am eager to bring my skills and caring nature to your family.

Melissa took care of my Dad with end-stage Parkinsons. She was an angel. Melissa is knowledgeable and professional. My Dad loved her and the whole fanily trusted her with Dad's care. She was with us until the end and helped us navigate that difficult time. We will hope she's available when we need her next. You would be lucky to have her.
