Hello! My name is Melissa. Taking care of children has always been my passion. Allowing children to grow, explore and learn is a rewarding experience that keeps me excited. I’m currently in my prerequisites for the Early Childhood Education program, afterwards my hopes are to be either a first through third grade teacher! I’m honored to take care of the children I meet, and have a positive impact on their lives. I am a very responsible and reliable person. I would love to discuss further details if interested, thank you!
