Hello! My name is Melissa and for the past six years, I have worked as a special education teacher at a private high school in Montgomery County. This past year, I made the decision with my family to step away from the classroom and stay home with my now eight month old son, Dylan. Now that Dylan is a little older I have some flexibility in my schedule, and I would really love to find someone who needs assistance/care to work for on a part-time basis. I hope we are a good fit as I am very flexible and willing to work with diverse needs. I am a dedicated individual with lots of enthusiasm and a passion for teaching and learning. I have 12+ years of experience of nannying and working with people with special needs. I am CPR certified, trained in crisis prevention intervention, and fluent in Spanish. I Read more would love to find a match with someone who could use my help. Hope to speak with you soon!
