Meet Melanie
- Speech Therapist
I absolutely love working with and connecting with children. I am a recent graduate from Northwestern University with a Masters in Speech-Language Pathology with a focus on the pediatric population. My background before graduate school is in education (middle school special education) and Applied Behavioral Analysis home therapy. I have always enjoyed creating fun opportunities for children to engage in their environment and with others. I am looking for part-time babysitting until end of August, in which I will be working full-time as a Speech-Language Pathologist with children ages 0-3 years. I would love to connect with families if you're interested in learning more about me. Updated background check, CPR/First Aid, ABA therapy, and Early Intervention certified. References available upon request.
