Melanie O. - Sacramento Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Melanie O.

Part-Time, 7 Years of Experience

I have been working with children since my teens but for the past five years I have dedicated my career to working with special needs children and their families. I am professionally trained in ABA therapy, play therapy and as a school aide working in public classrooms. I am in my Jr. year of my bachelor's degree and plan on getting my master's after I graduate. I am passionate about helping children and making their lives as full and rewarding as possible. I have done in home 1:1 therapy as well as classroom group therapy. Nothing is more rewarding to me than meeting our milestones and goals we created for the child, and the amount of satisfaction a child gets when accomplishing these goals really makes me happy :)
Related Hobbies and Interests
I enjoy practicing yoga (I am also trained to teach yoga to special needs kids). I love doing anything outdoors and love being in nature. I also love to read, paint and volunteer with local autism groups.
