About Melema

I am a very loyal caregiver. I started my career taking care of my elderly mother until her last breath. Though I put my life on hold to care for my mother, it was a time I consider to be a blessing. It began my love for care giving. The most recent Home Care Provider was for a client-friend I served for over 7 years. I cared for him up until his very last breath. In the 7 years I worked for him I never called in sick. I feel my expertise is adapting to the clients needs not just in the physical, but emotionally, and by way of companionship. I enjoy the career of care-giving because it truly is a career that is far reaching and meaningful beyond my imagination.

Hi, I'm Tocora the qualities I possess that helps me to be a great care giver is that I'm very compassionate, patient, attentive, and a team player. I'm great at communicating and definitely problem solving. I'm also very dependable and optimistic! What attracted me to caregiving was my mother, ever since I was old enough to remember I would go with my mother who is currently a CNA to her job and I fell in love with her passion of caring for everyone. Everyone loves my mother because she's great at what she does and I've always inspired to be like her. What I enjoy most about caregiving is the help that I am giving to those in need! I believe that helping people is a calling for me and it brings me great joy! My personal achievement I'm proud of is the big move that I made to California. It was hard to move away from family but I did it to better my future and I'm very proud of it!

I enjoy listening to people and caring for them. I want them to be comfortable and as happy as they can be for the situation. I want to give them the attention, care and dignity they deserve. Spending time listening and sharing conversations - while also doing my job of making sure they are eating, drinking, exercising. Etc. I never thought about being a caregiver - it just happened and I am glad it did because I enjoy it. I work to increase their state of mind (happy, smile and laugh)- I know this time of their life is tough and I want to help them find some enjoyment and comfort to embrace each day.
