Melissa’s Bio

I am a 28 year old single mother to a wonderful and beautiful five-year-old girl. As I was growing up I've had animals since I can remember and genuinely enjoyed taking care of them and watching them grow. When I turned eleven, I began to be interested in fostering Greyhounds and my mom agreed to help me with that. That has carried over into my adult life. When I was 15 years old, my family received custody of my cousin who had special needs where I became her caretaker. This became a great passion for me. Needless to say that over the years I I have gained an understanding and great knowledge for taking care of other individuals who need some help along the way. I have the passion, drive , willingness and the dependability needed to complete the role as caregiver; whether it's to animals, seniors or other people who just need some help. Although I really do love dogs , love love love them! I'm just trying to earn a couple extra dollars so I can take care of my daughter and provide the best possible life I can for her.
