Description
My name is Melissa T, and I am a female home carer with a passion for helping people live an independent life despite challenging health conditions. With over 5 years of experience, I have taken care of patients with mild cognitive impairment, MND, anxiety, and depression. I have worked with bed-bound patients, ensuring they get the care they need to maintain their comfort levels.
My skillset as a home carer includes bathing, toileting, assistance with dressing, catheter care, and companionship. I understand the importance of keeping my clients' homes clean, comfortable, and organized, and I strive to provide the best care possible. Although I am unable to drive or own a car, I am willing to do everything possible to maintain my patient's optimal health.
In my free time, I enjoy going for walks, solving puzzles, taking photographs, socializing, and reading. I am a lover of pets of all kinds, including cats, dogs, fish, rabbits, etc. My personality is caring, friendly, and helpful, and I believe that these qualities enable me to connect well with my patients. My motivation for caring is influenced by the desire to help people lead independent lives, and I always keep this in mind while providing care services.
