About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a mother of two children. My son is 11 years old and my daughter is 9. I was a special education teacher who worked in Oak Forest. I worked in the district for 15 years. Having my own children and having had worked as a teacher, I am extremely flexible. I put a lot of time and care into my job and the care of my children. I took this year off to take a break from teaching. As a family, we spend a ton of time outdoors. We spend time at the park, going for walks, out in the yard and outings to the Zoo. Thank you for your time and interest.

We did not end up hiring Melissa because of other conflicts, but she was responsive and polite in our communications.
