About Melissa

I am an outgoing and friendly person. I have great communication skills. I love the one on one contact and relationship that I have with my clients in their homes. My mother was a caregiver so I decided to follow in her footsteps. I have 18 years of home health and 11 years of hospice care experience. I'm proud of my personal achievements of obtaining my cna license later in life and making employee of the month on several occasions.
