My name is Melissa and I have over thirty years of experience working with children/senior adults. I was a live-in nanny for several years until I pursued a career in travel. While employed by a reputable travel agency, I also worked part-time as a caregiver on the weekends and evenings. Recently, I graduated from Mississippi State University with a degree in Social Work and would like to pursue a permanent career in geriatrics. I am certified in CPR/First Aid and I recently worked at my daughter's school (summer position only) as the assistant director for the summer daycare program. My passion is working with children and/or the elderly and advocating on behalf of vulnerable populations who may not have a voice.
