Hello! I'm Melissa, passionate about caregiving with a background in teaching and childcare. Over 20 years ago, I started my journey caring for my niece in Jamaica, sparking my deep love for guiding children academically, emotionally, and socially. I've worked with diverse backgrounds and needs, enriching my understanding, especially in supporting children with special needs. As a teacher, I prioritize instilling confidence and self-worth, fostering acceptance and motivation to learn. Rooted in empathy and patience, my caregiving approach ensures a nurturing environment where all children thrive through activities, creativity, and strong relationships. Committed to continuous learning, I attend workshops and training to enhance my childcare skills and make a positive impact on every child's life.
