About Melissa

Hi! I'm using Care while transitioning from the school system for the summer break. I'm a certified K-6 teacher. I previously taught K and 1st grade at MDCPS. I'm currently available to assist families with tutoring and pet care, alongside childcare. I have an English BA and Psychology BS from FIU. I've completed additional courses in education at FIU. I have experience working with children via MDCPS, volunteering hours, social programs, research lab opportunities (FIU Psych. department), field hours with MDCPS via FIU, and community outreach programs. I am willing to drive, tutor, run errands, and pet-sit (animal lover!). I'm physically active and willing to take your children on trips to parks, gardens, museums, beaches, zoos, etc. I'm available on weekends. I drive a 2015 Toyota Prius. I have plenty of board games and children's books to bring along, if requested. I have a therapy golden retriever who loves making new friends (with parental permission). Member of Fairchild Gardens.
