About Melissa

Hello! My name is Melissa. I live in Dandridge with my husband & 3 of our 6 adult kids. I love & miss working with children. I've received an AA in Early Child Ed & have 10+ years of experience. I'd describe my personality as empathetic, fun, loyal & a bit quirky. I like working with kids because I love watching them learn & develop. I'm looking for a job with some flexibility. I prefer not to work weekends/evenings, as I cherish time that time with my family. I started working with kids in my teens & have worked in childcare in some respect off and on since. In my spare time I like to take photos, craft, write, & garden. One thing you should know about me is that I truly enjoy working with children. My skills include patience, ability, & knowledge. That sounds a bit vague, but without those base skills, I'd be a poor caregiver.
