Hi there - thanks for visiting my profile! Let me introduce myself just a little bit: My name is Melissa, I am 31 years old, and I currently live in the Brooklyn neighborhood in Portland, OR. I am open to positions of all sorts, whether they are short-term, on an as-needed basis, or long-term. Some of my hobbies include dance, reading, gardening, and arts & crafts. I studied environmental studies in undergraduate in Massachusetts, and I recently earned my MS in Nutrition from NUNM here in Portland. I have over 10 years experience tutoring, graduated at the top of my high school class, and have both my BA and MS. I am passionate about education and would love to help your family with remote learning. When I babysit, I do not tend to sit the kids in front of the television. Sure, some tv time is perfectly acceptable, but there Read more is so much more that the world has to offer! I love spending time outside with children - going to the park or playground, or playing sports. I also love coloring, arts & crafts, dancing, and legos. I have experience with all sorts of babysitting - from infants, to children with special needs, from twins to teens - I've done it all. I have also worked as a teacher's aid in classrooms and volunteered in preschool programs and YMCA programs. I also have experience with homework help and tutoring all age levels, as well as experience with animals. Protecting your family and myself against COVID is very important to me. I currently have my full vaccination and one booster. I can't wait to find out if I am a good fit to work with your family. I hope to hear from you soon! *clean driving record.
