'Mrs. Melania Trump is announcing the opening of The Office of Melania Trump. Please follow this account for news and updates,' a post from the new Twitter account @OfficeOfMelania read.
According to CNN, Trump has hired three members of her White House staff to help her with the set-up of the office.
One source told the publication that she 'hopes to resurrect her Be Best campaign' to help children deal with online bullying.

Meanwhile, the former First Lady is said to be enjoying a leisurely pace of life since she relocated to Mar-a-Lago last month.
Several sources told CNN that Trump is spending much of her time at day spas.
'She goes to the spa, has lunch, goes to the spa (again) and has dinner with Donald on the patio,' one person who is familiar with the former First Lady told the network.
Another source stated: 'It is not unusual for Trump to spend several hours a day there [at the spa], enjoying the benefits at her disposal, often going twice in a 24-hour period, for massages, nail care, facial treatments or other items on the menu.'
The sources both say 'the former first lady has mentally all but left Washington behind, unlike her husband'.
Melania Trump is reportedly jealous of the attention new First Lady Jill Biden is receiving after moving into the White House
Melania is also reportedly jealous of the attention new First Lady Jill Biden is receiving, with sources saying she is 'lamenting the media focus on her successor'.
Biden featured alongside her husband on the cover of People this week, and has given an interview with Parents magazine.
She has also been the subject of several glowing profiles, and has already given more than half a dozen speaking engagements.
On Sunday, First Lady Biden additionally appeared with the new President in a televised message which aired just before the Super Bowl.
It is a contrast to Trump, who largely preferred to stay out of the spotlight and often shirked public appearances with her husband.
But according to CNN's sources, Trump sees the positive coverage of Jill Biden as proof of media bias, despite the fact she shied away from being featured in the when she became First Lady in January 2017.
'Melania intentionally didn't do press as a defense mechanism,'Trump's former friend Stephanie Winston-Wolkoff told CNN.
'Donald was more upset about Melania not getting magazine covers than Melania was.'

However, 'the former first lady is not blaming herself in hindsight, she's blaming others - former staff members, magazine editors, and corporations and foundations that opted not to work with her'.
'That seems unfair, but typical to blame everyone else,' one source told CNN.
'Everyone knows Melania Trump does what she wants when she wants, and not one staffer on her team could have done anything to change that.'
