About Melissa

I bring 25+ years of experience a family support professional, working with children from infancy through high school. I specialize in after-school care that combines dependable childcare with academic support, organization, and enrichment. I have extensive experience with gifted learners, ADHD, autism, executive-function challenges, learning differences, and ESOL students, and I tailor my approach to each child's unique strengths and needs. I hold a M. Ed. from UF, in elementary education, gifted education, math, ESOL, and special ed. I'm CPR/First Aid certified, a safe driver, and experienced with allergies & diabetes. Whether helping with homework, transportation, meal prep, or creating calm, consistent routines, my goal is to help children feel confident, capable, and supported while giving parents peace of mind. I'm seeking a long-term position with a family looking for an experienced, reliable caregiver who can provide both exceptional childcare and educational support.
