About Melissa
Experience: 7 yrs
I enjoy caregiving. It's been about 7yrs now. What got me started was my grandmother. She was on Hospice. I have worked for 3 major caregiving companies and was employee of the month multiple times. I have tons of experience and love caring for people. I'd describe my personality as hardworking, caring, and funny. I like caring for seniors because wherever anyone needs help, im there. Knowing someone is there to help and make them comfortable. I'm looking for a job that communicates well & realistic on its needs. My skills include Transferring, bathing/dressing, feeding companionship, organizing daily life, pet care, tioleting, med reminder, transportation, emotional support and light housekeeping.
