About Melinda
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello, my name is Melinda, and I have over 25 years of personal experience as a caregiver. I am experienced with cancer patients, hospice, alzheimer's, dementia, and post-operative care. My skills include bathing, toileting, incontinence, hygiene, dressing, shaving, ambulation, mobility/ exercise, and medication reminders. I take accurate records of the day & will keep family members informed. I am a great cook & can prepare home-cooked meals including those on dietary restrictions. I am happy to help w/ light housekeeping such as laundry, changing bed linens & vacuuming. I own a reliable vehicle, have a clean background/driving record, and have been live scanned/fingerprinted/registered with the state. I am very kind, compassionate, encouraging, and very patient. I always treat those in my care with love and respect as if I'm caring for my own family. I prefer to work with loving and kind busy families who need support/respite care. Please email me for my most current availability.

It is my pleasure to highly recommend Melinda as a home health aide. Following my major surgery, Melinda has been an invaluable part of my recovery journey, providing exceptional care, support, and dedication to my well-being. She consistently exceeded expectations, ensuring that I felt comfortable, safe, and supported throughout my recuperation process. Melinda’s expertise and attention to detail have been evident in all aspects of her care. She has skillfully assisted with personal hygiene, meal preparation, medication management, and mobility support. Her keen observation skills and proactive nature allowed her to address potential health concerns promptly. Beyond these core responsibilities, she also provided emotional support, offering encouragement and companionship that greatly lifted my spirits. Melinda's ability to create a calm and positive environment made a significant difference in my healing process. What truly sets Melinda apart is her remarkable compassion, patience, and professionalism. She consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic, excellent communication skills, and a genuine commitment to my recovery. Her reliability and dedication are second to none, and she carries out her duties with warmth and respect, qualities that are essential in a home health aide. I am deeply grateful for the care she provided and am confident she will bring the same level of excellence to her future clients. Sincerely, Steve J
