About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! I have over 25 years of experience working with children professionally and raising my three children. I am a certified elementary teacher with a Master's degree in Education. I have worked with all ages of children including starting and teaching a 2year old program, teaching preschool, elementary school and most recently working with high schoolers interested in health/medicine at Albany Medical College. I believe that children learn best through hands-on, creative and imaginative play experiences. I would love to meet your child(ren) and help you to provide a safe, fun, and nurturing experience for them.

Melissa was great with our nearly three year old! She was prompt, friendly, and followed our routine perfectly while also infusing some fun. Would absolutely hire again and recommend her.
