About Melinda

I was a caregiver part-time for 2 years and fell in love with the two ladies I was caregiver for. I enjoy giving my clients companionship and putting smiles on their faces. My passion is to helping others whenever I can. I would like to get involved as a caregiver again but as a full-time career. I'm a mother of two girls who are now 26 and 23. As they were growing up, I encouraged them to participate in after school activities. I've been involved in girl scouts and 4-H. Been on a variety of committees. My career has been an office setting for over 25 years. I would like to change things up. I like being around people and talking with them. Getting to know new people and to hear their life story is only part good medicine for both parties. I've baby sat for single moms who were struggling financially. I enjoy kids also. We seem to have a connection.
