Hi there! My name is Melissa Orticelli, and I have been taking care of children for over ten years. I worked in my church's child care program for two years as a teenager. I would help other aids take care of groups of up to 10 kids at a time. I also have been babysitting my many nieces and nephews since I was 14, and often for weeks at a time. I have a bachelors B.S. degree in psychology, and I am proficient in principles of child psychology and development. I am well-versed in how a child mind operates, and I always try to look at the world from their colorful and unique perspective. Children truly are sponges during these formative years because they are constantly soaking up information and building up their identity. I try to use each and every interaction to bolster their confidence and self-esteem. I want Read more to encourage them to believe in themselves, and shoot for their dreams no matter how young they are.
