About Melissa

I have been working in early childcare education since 2010, working with 6 weeks-6yrs professionally, and volunteering with children from Kindergarten to 8th grade. I have much experience with children with special needs (dietary, behavioral, emotional) and feel confident in caring for children with some medical conditions as well. I am CPR and First Aid Trained along with a Bachelors in Early Childhood Education. My family enjoys and like to do many different activities includimg biyscouts. We are a very well mannered, animal loving family that doesn't smoke. I have all of my clearances(FBI, STATE, Child ABUSE, and NSOR). I love crafty, outdoors, cooking, baking, cleaning, and helping others. I believe that children best learn from nurturing, engaged adults who positively reinforce appropriate behavior. Teaching children comes easiest when followed the lead of the child.
