About MELISSA

Hello! My name is Melissa Dixon and I provide services to disabled or elderly clients in their homes. I have over 12 years experience with duties such as administering medicines, noticing changes in health condition, helping with personal care, running errands, and housekeeping. I love doing what I do because...It's Fun! I have a true appreciation for those in their late stages in life. Rather than simply seeing impediments, I enjoy the stories, experiences and humor of the seniors I care for. I also enjoy the variety of activities and entertainment available.

Growing up I've always had a passion caring for others. When I was 16 my mother was diagnosed with stage 3 ovarian cancer (currently 24). I knew at that moment healthcare was my calling. I helped with transportation to doctors appointments, grocery shopping, toileting, dressing, grooming, bathing, and providing emotional care. I've worked in a senior home previously. I have experience working with a variety of different health problems (physical and mental). I proudly hold a CNA title and also BLS certified. The same love and care I provided for my mother and residents is the same love and care I can provide for you or your loved one.

I have been a caregiver for the past 14 years. I started this type of work when I graduated high school. I started working in an Assisted Living facility. It feels amazing when one is able to bring out a smile from an elderly person after providing them with the help they need. A few years back I was assigned to care for a lady who was placed in Hospice. After a few weeks of care and patience, she was removed from Hospice. Since my help was no longer needed I was dismissed, but on my last day I received a beautiful letter from her family thanking me for taking such good care of their mother and for helping her come out of Hospice. One feels ecstatic when others are able to see and tell you what a passionate caregiver you are.
