About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! I'm Melissa, I am a certified Speech-Language Pathologist. I am offering some part-time childcare for families. With years of professional experience supporting both typically developing children and children with developmental delays and disabilities, I'm confident in caring for children with a wide range of needs. I will incorporate your child's interests, developmental stage, and your family's preferences into our time together-whether that means play at home, outdoor adventures, trips to local parks or libraries, or other hands-on, screen-free activities that encourage learning, creativity, and confidence. My goal is to provide families with peace of mind while creating meaningful, positive experiences that children genuinely look forward to. Due to my work schedule I often cant't do short or last minute visits. However, I can reliably commit to longer days/weekends, special events, and overnights. If this sounds like a good fit for your family, Id love to hear from you!
