Hello, I am currently working on my last semester of my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology with a focus in childhood development. I am certified by EEC as an Infant/Toddler and Preschool/Pre-k teacher. I have been working in child care centers for the past 4 years as a a teacher with all ages, behaviorist, care coordinator, and staff trainer. I have experience in age appropriate curriculum planning and I am skilled in implementing creative and interactive activities. Before I began working in childcare centers, I worked as a camp counselor, before and after school leader, and a babysitter. I am also a behavior therapist, so I have experience working with children and adolescents diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have recently moved back to my home town in Western MA from the Boston area. I am planning to stay here for the foreseeable future and I am looking for a nannying Read more position. I feel like I have always been able to easily connect with children of all ages and I believe that this and my experience in early education could benefit any family looking for childcare. I look forward to getting to know you and your family! Melanie
