About Melissa

I'm a calm, thoughtful caregiver with a background in trauma-informed, developmentally respectful care. I've worked across roles in early childhood education, family support, and behavioral intervention. My experience includes working with neurodivergent children, as well as children with developmental delays. I've supported children in both home and classroom settings, including inclusive and specialized environments. Professionally, I've completed extensive training in trauma-informed practices and behavior support. My caregiving style is grounded in evidence-based approaches - emphasizing emotional safety and connection. I take time to understand each child's needs and bring a steady, attuned presence to help them feel secure and confident. If you're looking for someone warm, reliable, and aligned with research-backed principles, I'd love to connect and see if we're a good match.
