My name is Melissa Cabrera and I was recently a full time enrichment coach at an elementary school. I say that I was this because due to covid -19 the schools were closed and I was unfortunately laid off. I am also a high school girls basketball coach in the fall so I have a ton of experience with kids. I’ve worked with kids for almost about 10 years now of all ages from newborn to 18 as well as children with special needs. I also have experience with overnight shifts as well as early morning shifts. I’m currently not looking for a full time position as I’m looking to get back into school and finish my major in psychology. I’m interested in the position with you and hope to communicate soon. Thank you in advance. Here’s my number if you would like to give me a call. (408)757-9069
