About Melinda

I am a 66 years old. I was married 46 years with 2 children. When my children were young. I took care of children from newborn to 4 years old. Once my children went to school in 1985, I worked as an teacher's aide for the preschool handicapped class for 2 years at Littlewood Elementary in Gainesville, Fl Then I took a job at Westwood Middle School with the 6th grade Ese class for the next 2 years. Both jobs were very rewarding. The rest of my working career was working as an administrative Secretary with the University of Florida and the Alachua County School Board. My husband and I were blessed with 5 grandchildren, ages 13, 10, 9, 8 and 6. I have taken care of each of them from the time that they were born. My husband and I retired 10 years ago. Sadly he passed away in August 2024. My weekends are filled with my grandchildren and all of their sports and activities. I decided to look for a job that I've loved the best. Taking care of children gives me joy and happiness!
