About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! I am a 27-year-old middle school language arts teacher living in Woodbridge, NJ. I AM FULLY COVID-19 VACCINATED!! I have my bachelor's degree in English and my Master's in Teaching with certifications in k-6, special ed., and middle school (5-8) language arts. Personally, I have worked with children for as long as I can remember with jobs such as babysitting, assistant preschool teacher, arts & craft specialist at my local summer camp, and my recent teaching experience. I have experience with children ages newborn through 8th grade as well as children with special needs. I can also provide you with references if needed! **I am a full time teacher during the year and am not looking for reoccurring weekday jobs**

Melissa was our summer babysitter for our two boys (elementary school age) for two summers (2019 and 2020). Melissa truly loves children; she took the boys to the library, the park, to get ice cream after camp. Melissa became part of our family and she will always be. My boys adore her. We wish that she lived closer so she can babysit for us again this summer.
