About Melinda

My name is Melinda and I have been a caregiver for over 20 years. My mother was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when I was very young and by the time I was a teenager, I was her full time caregiver. After she passed away I knew it was my calling to keep helping others with similar needs and struggles. Once my youngest child started kindergarten I started caregiving professionally. I am very grateful for the fact that I am an able body and I try not to take that for granted. It not only humbles me to be able to help others, but I have also learned a tremendous amount about life and the skills to get through it by working as a caregiver. I study holistic health and herbalism and am certified in Family Herbalism and well as CPR. I love to garden and read and I adore my 3 teenage children. I have loved all of the people I've worked with over the years and their families as well. I would love the opportunity to dedicate my time to you or your loved one!

Also, I have more than 20 years in the care of others with various Ailments.
