About Melissa

As a mother of three and a certified teacher with a Master's degree in Education, I know kids! I believe in learning through play, hands on experiences and the power of books. I am looking for a part time position for the summer where I can make a positive impact on the life of your child. Your child's time with me will be filled with imaginative play, art, adventures and books! I'd describe my personality as outgoing, calm, creative! I love the unexpected nature of working with children! I appreciate their inquisitiveness, creativity and adventurous spirit. I'm looking for a job where I can help a family to provide a nostalgic childhood summer for their child. I started working with kids when I was about 12 years old. In my spare time, I am a potter and I enjoy gardening and working out. One thing you should know about me is that I have three grown children. My skills include patience, creativity, and an understanding of child development.
