Melanie G. - San Jose Special Needs Caregiver

Profile of Melanie G.

Full-Time, 10 + Years of Experience

I have 10 years working in the field for hope. I also have experience as a licenced day care provider. I took care of an in-home adult with cerebral palsy for eight years, and she become my best friend. She has passed on and my life felt incomplete, so i moved on and feel the passion to always help children. This is why I became a licenced day care provider and will take on children who have been stuck with a disability because my passion for life is much greater then the disability. I love the joy it brings each child.
