Hi my name is Melissa. For the past eight months I've been working as a direct support specialist and a camp counselor at Ramapo for Children in Rhinebeck, NY. But I have decided that I needed a change of pace and direction. Due to my new position as a direct support specialist, I feel as though I haven't had enough time to connect with the kids I work with anymore and the demand of the job and lack of quality has become a burden to me. A plus is that I'm learning Spanish, so the kids can learn with me.

Melissa was a nanny for our 4 month old daughter and 2 year old son. She is very patient and caring, and was always professional. She did a great job of balancing caring for our two children, and I would definitely recommend her to other families.
