About Melissa

Hey there! I'm Melissa, a warm, positive, and friendly caregiver with over two years of experience working with children, including one year at an academy supporting children on the autism spectrum and weekend childcare for families. I also volunteered in high school for two years with children with special needs, which strengthened my patience, communication, and individualized care skills. I enjoy working with kids ages 4-11, creating engaging activities through outdoor play, board games, and educational apps. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, hold a food handler's permit, and prioritize clear communication with families. I'm adaptable, empathetic, and enjoy building trusting connections while fostering curiosity and creativity. In my spare time, I like reading, crafts, and spending time outdoors. I'm looking for a flexible job that allows me to provide consistent, high-quality care to children.
