After many years in the childcare industry I finally found my calling. I had the good fortune of landing a job taking care of a quadriplegic gentleman requiring total care. I took care of daily responsibilities such as baths, feeding, cooking, errands, doctors appointments and transporting. He trained me himself on how to take proper care of him as he had already been paralyzed for 20 years. My next client was another quadriplegic gentleman. He too had his ways of doing things and I learned from him as well. I taught him a few too. (Bowel Management) I truly enjoyed being Gerald Mason's caregiver until his untimely passing in 2021. I have found my calling for sure and I hope to be someone's new caregiver/family member as I treat my clients like family. My desire is to dedicate myself to someone who needs my services.

    Melanie was awesome! She was an intricate part in helping my mother recover from her accident. She not only took excellent care of our mom she also calmed us all down and showed us how to care for her too. We couldn't have done it without her as we were so overwhelmed at the time. I definitely recommend her to anyone needing help.
