About Melissa

Experience: 2 yrs

My love for the elderly began at home with my own grandmother. I learned how to appreciate and help my grandmother who had Alzheimer's and Dementia. From there I worked with Senior Care Services working with a variety of different older clients. I loved taking my clients to and from their appointments, spending time reading together or going on walks, and cooking meals. I truly get a kick from hearing my older clients stories from their past and feel I learn something every time we are together. I am interested in going to the library, or even taking a class for older adults through the Adult Ed programs. I am your "Captivating Caregiver" who will truly enjoy your elderly loved one.
