About Melaie

I like working with kids because when I was growing up I was always tasked with babysitting my brothers when my parents went away to work. I would clean, cook, help with homework, etc. After that I have just always loved taking care of people !! I started working with kids when I was fresh out of middle school. Every summer I do a vacation Bible school where I am a counselor for children who have just finished elementary school grades. I have been doing this camp for seven years and plan on continuing it. In my spare time, I like to read, watch videos and be with my cat. One thing you should know about me is I'm very understanding. Since I have been doing this for so long I have learned how to deal with different children and their personalities or their learning styles so I have learned how to be patient and put myself in the kids shoes. My skills include being engaged with them, being understanding and seeing their point of view, and being strict when I need to be.
