About Melanie

Experienced homemaker available during school hours 8 AM-2:30 p.m. on M, Tu, Th, F and 8 AM-1:30 p.m. on Wed. I have raised 4 children and did childcare for many years prior to motherhood. I volunteered at my children's (K-8) Montessori school, youth groups, and with Special Olympics track and cross country teams. I homeschooled our youngest child with special needs (now 15 y. o.) for 5 years and developed a broad curriculum which included nature classes, biweekly hikes, exposure to many musical genres.... I hold a Master's degree in English Literature and Pedagogy and have taught students from K- third year of university. I love to arouse a child's curiosity, wonder at the beauty of the world, and delight in books. I have been certified in CPR, AED, and First Aid.
