Hello, my name is Melissa. I love children and I am currently going to school studying early childhood education. I hope to someday be a teacher and work with special needs children. I find working with children at any age is rewarding in watching and playing with them as they grow. I am experienced working with children on the autism spectrum and have basic knowledge of ABA tactics, communication methods such as ASL and PECs, and sensory processing activities. I am very patient and kind to children and fully respect all parents individual wants and needs for their children.
