Hi my name is Melissa and I’m a 30 year old female that resides in Northern Virginia. I’ve been working with children for 10 years plus and that includes volunteering and babysitting. I have 3 children of my own whom I love and adore beyond any words that I can describe. I’m currently attending Northern Virginia Community College to obtain my Associates in Early Childhood Education. I’ have my CDA and I’m MAT and First Aid CPR/AED certified. I’ven been an Assistant Teacher with my current employer for 3 years. I enjoy reading to children, arts and crafts and overall watching them progress developmentally.
