I am looking for a job where once again I have an opportunity to make a difference in a child's life, teach them. I have always worked with children. I have a strong background with many different aspects of childcare and experience in many different situations. I have worked in the Evanston/Skokie schools as a substitute teacher, I have had a thorough back ground check and training through American Red Cross as I worked with them during Hurricane Katrina-I have many Red Cross Certifications and coursework completed, which one hopes to never use; however is always helpful information to know. I am bi-lingual have taught for years and try to do this creatively. Despite the fact I can be 'uncool' and not in tune with Justin Bieber, fortunately kids have always welcomed me in their everychanging worlds. I tried to form instruction in a manner to help them get subjects Read more in their way- whether it be music, arts or simply numbers. I am looking for a regular schedule and hope to establish something where I can become, 'one of the family.' I was raised in a large family and I believe family is important,

I am so impressed with Melissa. She is completely engaging with my kids and knows how to keep them happy while maintaining a good structure for them. I've got an active 5 year old boy and 7 year old girl who require a lot of attention. She's completely reliable and willing to be there, with a smile, at 5 in the morning! She comes to the table with experience and maturity that you'll want in a nanny. She has a great ability to communicate with kids and adults. I feel very lucky to have had her as a nanny this summer!
