About Melissa

Hi! I'm a responsible and patient college student who values both structure and emotional understanding in childcare. I create a safe, calm, and engaging environment where children feel supported and respected. I value a child's voice and always try to understand their perspective. I am a 22-year-old pursuing a paralegal certificate and associate degree at College of DuPage, with plans to attend law school. I bring patience, a calm demeanor, and a strong sense of fairness and responsibility, and I am confident enforcing household expectations respectfully. I have 4+ years of experience caring for children from infants to teens, including my 4-year-old twin siblings. I understand the importance of speaking to children with care and using positive communication. I am comfortable caring for up to 4 children, great with pets, and can assist with meals, light cleaning, and transportation. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and provide a safe, fun, and reliable experience.
