Meet Melinda

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I am a mom of two girls ages 13 and 15. I have a great relationship with them, they are very nice young ladies. I am a Social Worker and have lots of experience working with kids in different settings over the past 25 years. As a horseback riding instructor, I have worked with many children over the years and am an active member of Pony Club, and DFSC which is centered around kids. I currently work full time but have some availability. I am trying to fund my two daughter's in their sports, Figure Skating and Horses. They have their sites on National Competitions this year so I need to make some extra money and have fun while I'm doing it!
