About Melanie

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have a BS in Psychology, preschool and special education teaching experience, and ABA/behavioral therapist experience. I have been working with children professionally for 20+ years, including newborns and twins. A few of my many interests include playing ice hockey, practicing multiple musical instruments, anything crafty, hula hooping, camping, and reading. I'm all about fostering independence, cooperation, respect, responsibility, creativity, play, laughter and adventure! Im currently in grad school (psychology/education). My classes are online and my schedule is flexible. Former paramedic. Non-smoker. Pet friendly! I should mention that I cannot provide transportation in my vehicle. My van has been converted into a camper and there are no longer passenger seatbelts. However I do have an excellent driving record and would be happy to use your vehicle to transport your children if needed.
