About Melanie

I became a Caregiver because I was raised caring for my grandmother through colon cancer. I truly saw the value of having a caring compassionate person who truly loves what they do. I have always cared for people with the very same respect and care I would want for my own family member. My own son was also born with a heart defect and was on life support. I know the value of care and being there for families. I am certified as a Medical Assistant and have an Associates Degree in Kinesiology,health & Wellnes. I have spent the last 8 years caring for hospice and Alheimer's patients full time. I have a great sense of humor and would love to brighten your loved ones day

Always striving to provide top quality dignified care for the elderly with love, patients , empathy and respect. I became a caregiver 26 years ago because I have a soft spot for the elderly and I enjoy helping and caring for the aging population. What I enjoy best being a caregiver is, I get to learn a lot from my elderly clients life experiences! I enjoy conversation with them, lending a helping hand, and a listening ear. All while providing genuine companionship.

I became a Caregiver because I enjoy helping others. I like being able to assist others with chores and duties they cannot fulfill themselves, as well as being a companion to the elderly. A personal achievement I have made is making a difference in someone else's life. I have achieved this by tutoring many students within various school districts in all subjects, and youths both incarcerated and released, but were on probation. I have earned my Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice Admin/Human Services, and plan to start on my Master's degree in the near future in Social work or Psychology. I love spending time with family and worship my four grandsons, they are a true blessing to me! ***My rates vary depending on the type of care needed and for multiple people. I also charge double time on holidays. Thank you, and have a wonderful day!!!
