Hello and thank you for considering my application. I have cared for and taught children of all ages from newborns to seniors in high school for the past 30 years. I have a multi-cultural educational background (17 years teaching all ages and cultures) and have also worked with and tutored students with varying special needs; particularly autism. I worked in an orphanage for many years and later as a teacher and Dean of Students at an international Missionary school. I love children and I strive to enrich their lives with fun and learning every day through play, song, and sensory experiences. I love to read, cook, and sing. I have three grown children of my own. I am bilingual; fluent in Spanish. I am happy to provide references for you. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and your child.
I can’t say enough wonderful things about Melonie! She did such a wonderful job with our 13 month old daughter, and it was amazing to see how quickly our daughter took to her! Melonie was very reliable, trustworthy, and gifted in connecting with our little one.
