Hi! My name is Melissa :) A little bit about me..I live with my husband and our two beautiful dogs. I like to consider myself a world explorer and am constantly looking for a new adventure. I am a sports fan & enjoy coaching youth sports teams on my spare time. I have two diplomas in Early Childhood Education & a Bachelors of Science in Early Childhood Studies. I also studied Children's Mental Health and have a strong background in child psychology and development combined with an expertise of supporting families. I am a full time Educational Assistant working for Simcoe County District School Board. In my current role, I support special education students to achieve success in behaviour, social and life skills situations. I am hoping to expand my reach by providing respite care to families in the community. In addition, I also have years of experience babysitting children of various ages. I would love to chat to discuss how I can be a part of your families lives!
