Meet Melinda

Hello My name is Melinda. I am a forty nine year old mother of two now grown children. I have a BS in Biochemistry but I chose to stay home with my kids. I love kids and volunteered in many ways for the school system. I also was a Girl Scout leader and a Sunday school teacher. I read music fluently and am computer literate and current on kids typical computer activities. I am a decent cook, do not mind errands or light housekeeping, and multitask very well. I enjoy playing board games, day hikes, swimming, and reading. We own two large dogs and are comfortable with just about any type of pet. I am very experienced with ADD & asthma, and at one time but not currently I was CPR certified. I do not drink or smoke, have a perfect driving record and have always had clean COREE's ( Read more they are required by the school system to volunteer). I would be happy to hear from you. You can reach me at 339-788-8270 or mtowne002@gmail.com. Thanks for considering me! Sincerely Melinda Towne 290 Summit Rd Abington, Ma 02351
