About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

My name is Melissa. I am a mom of 2 (well 4 if you count our dogs), living the the Palos Heights neighborhood. I have just about 20 yrs of experience watching 100+ children ages birth to teens. I currently work as an occupational therapist in the schools. I enjoy doing arts and crafts, reading, pretend play, going to the park or for walks, and many other active things with children (I'm not one for a sedentary lifestyle, but an occasional movie and snack is always a nice treat)! I don't mind cleaning up and completing light household chores if time permits (however, child care will always come first and foremost). I'm an animal lover, so pets are not a problem!
