About Melanie

Compassion and diligence are two things that I pride myself in when referring to my role as a nurse. Being a caregiver comes naturally as I am a mother and nursing was something I always wanted to pursue. Improving someones quality of life gives me a sense of fulfillment that is unlike any other profession.

I am a joyful optimist. I am attentive, trustworthy and dependable. I appreciate the opportunity to provide patient, tender hearted care to vulnerable aging people. I have chosen to become a caregiver because I desire meaningful employment. I enjoy being a strong source of support and encouragement to individuals and families in need. Perhaps my most gratifying acheivements as a caregiver have been the ability to provide exceptional palliative care to elderly patients and emotional support to their loved ones.
