Meet Melissa
- Certified Nursing Assistant
- Occupational Therapist
- Comfortable with pets
I have 3 children, ages 13-18 I have 8 years experience as a Home Health Aide with special needs children of all ages and abilities, in school and in home. I have been around experts for years and learned so much from the professionals I have worked with such as teachers, therapy staff, TSS/behavioral staff workers, and families of special needs children. I obtained a degree as an Occupational Therapy Assistant 6 years ago and work PRN in nursing homes around my area. I have greatly enjoyed both careers. I am a very patient, attentive and caring, person by nature. I am easy going, consistent, and reliable. I believe in the importance of creating opportunities for children to develop and grow and try to do so in fun creative ways. I have a reliable vehicle, CPR and first aid certified. Due to my profession, I obtain Child abuse clearances, FBI, Read more and criminal background checks every few years. Me and my family have had our 1st covid vaccine.
