About Melissa

Experience: 3 yrs

I am originally from Nicaragua and have been living in Austin for over two years. I am currently doing my Master of Arts in Counseling at St. Edwards. I have worked for over two years with kids with Autism and other developmental disabilities. I was also a 4th grade teacher for one year and loved the classroom experience. I love spending time with kids and adolescents (all ages!!). I am willing to work on their homework, tutor if they need it and play all around! I have been working with and caring for kids since I was an adolescent both as a job and volunteer work. I have 7 nephews and nieces and they are everything to me!
