My name is Melissa and my personal background comes from growing up to be the oldest out of 6 siblings. Not only was my house consisted of sibling rivalry but also secretly all of us not wanting to be apart. The women of my family started as working with children in owning a home day care, teaching early education in church. The only thing that seemed fitting and natural to me was to study, and work with children. I am a certified early education and development teacher which allows me to teach in a preschool setting. Working with children for 13 years as my career path I will be able to bring my experiences and strengths to any new children-families needing care. Working with children of all ages, handling multiple children at once(1-8), providing care for special needs children comes with a huge impact and rewarding. Not only am I Read more making a difference with each child/children I provide care for, they make each moment a lifelong reward too.
