About Melissa

Hello, my name is Melissa Barnes. I have been providing direct care services for over 20 years. I provide the best care possible by treating clients as thought they are part of my family. I am CPR and First Aide certified, also familiar with administering medication. I enjoy getting out of the house and showing my clients different things to do such as going to the movies and going to the park. I have a great sense of humor and try to keep a positive outlook on life. I hope to have the opportunity to meet and care for your family member.
