About Melissa

Friendly, trilingual (English, Portuguese, and Spanish), and always available! My passions include art, reading books, and taking care of children :) I'd describe my personality as bubbly, attentive, and sociable! I like working with kids because ensuring and watching their growth is the biggest reward: both with big milestones like speech and smaller ones like eating veggies. I started working with kids when I was around 7: babysitting my cousins, nieces, and siblings was just the start. Since then, I've cared for all children from the ages of 5 months to 14 years old. In my spare time, I like to create! Painting, writing, drawing, making music-everything under the sun. My skills include communication (mostly de-escalation), helping children eat, and changing diapers.
