Touching lives and making a big difference is my passion. Life is too short, material things are nothing but good deeds stays forever. Working with individual with special needs is truly fulfilling; you need to fully understand their needs, be true and show real love/care and everything will works great. I had 13 years of experience in the field of teaching in regular school but after being exposed and becoming attached to an individual with special needs, I found where my heart belongs. They are the one who really need somebody with the golden heart. It's my passion to be an angel for these angels. I am knowledgeable with communication disorders and specific therapy programs. It's a pleasure to share my knowledge and be a part of a family to help and take care your loved ones with the best that I can.

    I couldn't speak more about Melanie. She took care of my son for almost 18 months while I was in residency. She was compassionate, dedicated and gave my son lots of focus and attention. She exceeded my expectations.
