Hi! I'm Melissa, I am a certified Speech-Language Pathologist. 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. My goal is to provide families with peace of mind while creating meaningful, positive experiences that children genuinely look forward to. I'm not typically available for short, last-minute requests. However, I can reliably commit to longer days/weekends, special events, and overnights. If this sounds like a good fit for your family, I'd love to hear from you! Feel free to send me a message so we can chat about what you're looking for and see if we're a good match.
