About Melissa

I work as a caregiver for almost 16 years and I do have compassion for an individual in need. Regardless of what color, status, culture, or situation. I like to help and what I enjoy most as a caregiver is when I see my client happy of what I do for them. My personal achievement for my job is making sure the client is safe and comfortable.

I went to nursing school in 2014. I have my degree in Science (AAS), and was working in a nursing home as a nurse assistant for 3 years. I really enjoyed with my elderly residents and taking care of their needs. In 2021, I started working for Carelinx and I've really enjoyed helping and meeting new people. I'm currently working to get my bachelor's as a geriatric nurse. One day, I hope to work in a nursing home to help my residents.

Hi! My name is Kaila and I'm currently a nursing student at UTSA! My first healthcare experience was being an intern at Baptist Hospital for, then I followed with The Brooks of Cibolo as a caregiver/ medication aid. My current job is at Bella Groves as a caregiver/ medication aid. I'm very positive and outgoing, I love making people smile! Being there to help someone maintain their dignity and help keep their life as it was before is why I became a caregiver. I'm very proud of myself for getting accepted into nursing school and being able to call myself a caregiver that people trust with their loved one. **I can supply my resume if needed/requested
