Hello! My name is Misty, and I am the new Recruiter and Retention Coordinator. My job is to recruit, screen, hire, train, and engage a staff of care professionals to provide the highest quality of care and service to our clients that I can.

A few things about myself: I am married to the love of my life Ronnie. I have two amazing children, Jozilyn and Jerrik. There grown and out of the house now. I live in Butler. We have a great Dane named “Zuri” and a cat named “Baby”. In our free time we do a lot of camping and fishing. We also visit the beach a few times a year.

Some of my background: I grew up dedicating my life to helping others in many different ways. I was a volunteer firefighter and the fire department secretary for several years. I’ve been working in long term care facilities and health care centers since 1999. I became a CNA eventually moving up into the mentor CNA position where I trained all new hires how to do their job as well as teaching them how to be the compassionate, empathetic, caring individuals that all clients need. I took care of my maternal grandmother who had Lou Garig’s Disease (ALS). A few years later I took care of my mother who needed a heart transplant. I was able to keep them at home during the final stages of their lives. I truly enjoyed all the years in healthcare, however I’m looking forward to my new journey as the Recruiter and Retention Coordinator for the Zelienople Home Instead Office.

Hi! My name is Melissa Kosits, and I joined the Zelienople office in December 2024. As a Client Care Consultant, I have the pleasure of meeting with family members who are seeking options for their loved one to stay at home. I walk families through the process from the first conversation about how Home Instead can help, through meeting with them in their homes for consultation and care assessment, to introducing them to their own CarePro, who will be serving their loved one in the home.

I am happy to be working at Home Instead Zelienople with a wonderful team of caring folks, united in our goal of helping our aging neighbors to live their lives as independently as possible. Personally, I've long been committed to this goal, beginning with my career in Occupational Therapy, working with brain injury and stroke victims (as well as many other diagnoses) in rehabilitation hospital settings. Being able to help others in this way gave me great joy. I then took time away from OT to raise my three children. After being out of state for many years, I’m happy to say that my husband, children, and I are back in Western Pennsylvania, close to family and lifelong friends.

I look forward to meeting and helping more families through our work here at Home Instead!
