About Melissa

I like caring for people because we all need help in life, and I am a "there you are!" person versus a "here I am" human. I also thrive when I can use my problem-solving skills to better the lives of others. I am empathic, kind, resourceful. I have spent most of my life raising children with part-time jobs on the side. I devoted my life to caring for my family so my resume lacks a lot of formal vocational experience. In my spare time, I like to exercise, read, travel with my husband and play with our dogs. I raised three daughters by myself and they are all successful, kind, hardworking and contributing members of society - either in healthcare or in school to pursue careers in the medical field. **I would not be able to work literally Sun-Friday, 8-5, but that is more to indicate my flexibility. Ideally, I am looking for 15-20 hrs per week. **I don't have reviews yet because this is my first time using Care. com to secure a job. I have many references upon request.
