About Melissa

Experience: 15 yrs

With 15 years of experience, I'm passionate about fostering children's growth. As a certified special education teacher, I specialize in working with children who have special needs. I'm patient, creative, and friendly, and I believe daily communication with families is key. I use tools like daily news reports, Remind, and ClassDojo to keep you informed. I'm comfortable adhering to household rules and enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I have First Aid Training and CPR Training. Since I enjoy the water and have access to my own personal pool. I would be willing to watch your children swim for teach them basic water, safety skills, and swimming. My children are grown, and I would like to help other families.

Melissa is absolutely amazing. We’ve been working with her for the past two years, and she’s patient, kind, reliable, and incredibly professional. As a mom of two children with special needs, she is truly the only person I trust with them. She understands their needs so well and has such a wealth of experience with kids. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone. We’re so grateful for all her help and support with our family whenever we need it.
