Meet Melissa
- Comfortable with pets
I've been a TSS for 16 years and recently retired. I miss working with children and interacting with them on a daily basis. I have substitute taught and enjoyed that so much. I have a BA in Psychology and a MEd in special needs. I understand behavior modification and listen to the child I work with. My training is too much to list on this site. I have dozens of certificates of training which I can submit. I have references from families that I worked with at Children and Youth as a Case manager. I held the top spot for handling and facilitating the largest number of a special needs multi racial sibling group to a single family for adoption. I'm trained in CPR, Lifesaving Skills, and AED. I can multitask and think outside the box to keep most children interested in skills that help them outside the home. I'm Read more also trained in crisis intervention so I can handle emergencies quickly and with great results.
