About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
I've worked in the education field for over 20 years. I have a degree in Special Ed & have experience working with children from infants through 12 years. I have experience with special needs children in the areas of Down Syndrome, ADHD, Autism, Developmental Delay, Language & Cognitive impairments. I've spent many years teaching Preschool in both regular & special needs classrooms. Most recently I taught PreK in the public school setting. As 2022 began, I decided to not work full time. l'm staying home to help care for my parents & spoil my grandbabies. I believe every child is unique & has something to contribute to our world. It is our job as parents, educators, & caretakers to guide them in achieving that. Education is part of my life & I hope to stay connected through child care & babysitting services. I look forward to working with your family. Plese note that I am looking for part-time, short term, & one-time jobs only... not full-time.

Melissa cared for my infant. She was always so kind and generous! She was easy to communicate with if I had any questions or concerns, she listened to them and ensured that my son had the best care! Thank you Melissa for taking such wonderful care of my son and helping him grow!
