Hi there! My name is Melody DeRogatis, and it's so nice to virtually meet you! I'm a Chicago-based theatre artist and writer who just graduated with my BFA in Musical Theatre and BA in Writing from Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa! I've spent the last four years attending college in Des Moines, working summer camps in Chicago, and am excited to be back in Chicago full-time! I am very creative, energetic, and outgoing. I have a passion for storytelling, which is part of why I am passionate about caregiving. I like helping kids use their imagination through arts and crafts, theatre, and music, to cultivate imagination as a lifelong skill. I've also spent a lot of time caring for my grandparents who had varying degrees of Alzheimer's/Dementia.... I love to hear their stories and help make a difference in their day by putting a smile on their face. Most Read more of all, I just love getting to know people-- whether they are 9 months, 9 years-old, or 90 years-old! Every human life has so much value and every connection we make with each other makes such a difference. I am CPR-certified, and I have a reliable, safe car with a clean driving record, license, and insurance! I would love to get to know your family and help in anyway! I look forward to getting to know you more!
