Meet Melissa
- Early Childhood Special Education Certification
- Special Education Certification
- Comfortable with pets
I'm a caring, patient Non-smoker and have been taking care of/Teaching children of all ages and caring for pets for many, many years. I have reliable transportation and a clean record. I would describe myself as respectful, positive and fun! Many people see me as honest, educated and tidy. My experience and education includes babysitting / nannying since I was 18; so for over 25 years. I've studied in Early education and Montessori training for several years; including substitute teaching for over 5 years and leading in many classrooms/settings for several years. At this point my life, I have chosen to take a break from teaching and do more one-on-one care with children.
