Hello! My name is Melissa, I’m 25 and I am a graduate of Wayne State University. I have a love of working with kids, especially young kids! Each child is different in their own way and I love being able to see their personalities flourish as I spend time with them. I currently am available to work Monday through Friday anytime you need me! I have worked closely with a family in my neighborhood for about three years now, but have been babysitting for just under five. I know how to perform dog and human CPR and am willing to learn anything and everything I need to learn to interact with your children! I am fully vaccinated and up to date on boosters. I am CPR certified, as well as other certifications through my work. I have worked with children with special needs my whole life and have spent the Read more past two years in ABA therapy. While the field has been rewarding, I am looking for a change of pace while still staying in childcare.
