About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello! My name is Melissa and I live in Arlington, VA. I currently work as the Respite Care & Community Engagement Director for a private, non profit organization for people with disabilities. As a Recreation Therapist and health care professional for over 11 years, I am passionate, caring, and truly love taking care of others! In my current position, I have flexible hours during the week so I am looking for a part-time job and open to additional hours on the weekends.

Melissa cares for my toddler twice a week, and she’s amazing. She has a ton of energy to keep my daughter engaged and active, usually at the park or other fun spots. I know my kid is safe and well cared for with Melissa!
