Hello! Please allow me to introduce myself, my name is Melyssa Howe. I've worked with preschool through school age children for 15 + years. Additionally, I've been fortunate to help special-needs kids as well. I'm CPR certified and I've been a volunteer and instructor for the Muttigrees Curriculum, developed by Cesar Milan and Yale's School the 21st century. A SEI ,( social emotional intelligence), program focusing on creating calm , confidence and compassion kids utilizing dogs in the classroom. In these complicated days that we live in I am a big believer in utilizing the outdoors as a classroom . I especially encourage children's intrinsic fascination with the natural world! I'm passionate about children, animals, running, plant-based nutrition, the environment and domestic abuse education and prevention. I welcome the opportunity to address your needs effectively. ( references and formal resume available upon request ) Thank you ! Best, Melyssa Howe
