Truly a Godsend!!!!!!! I am Lauren G. and my husband and I hired Melissa in October of 2021 to care for my Mother-in-Law Gracie. We were the full time caregivers for her and we were to the point where we needed help. After many phone interviews, we met Melissa and she was truly sent by God/Yah to help us!!! She was trustworthy, dependable, compassionate and truly knew how to understand my Mother-in-Law and how to help us as family in a really rough time. She was there with us for 3 months until our Mom drew her last breathe. The last week, she went above and beyond the call of duty and stayed with us while Gracie was on Hospice because we were at our wits end and as you can imagine hurting beyond words. Melissa came in as a caregiver but truly we can call her OUR ANGEL on Earth!!!!! We are available to speak with any potential family to let you know that you will NOT regret hiring Melissa!!!!!! Sincerely Lauren G.
