About Melissa

I am a former trainable mentally handicapped middle school teacher, though my degree is in psychology and religion. Many summers were spent directing summer camps while I was in college. I baby-sat from a very young age at churches and then finding clients that way. I am currently a Paraprofessional in a special needs middle school class. My children are 13 (boy) and 18 (girl). My daughter will be working at an overnight summer camp so it will mostly be just me and my son at home. My summers are free- I enjoy taking my son out to the metro parks, for ice cream, to the library or finding something fun to do. He has a tender heart and is always looking for someone to hang out with. He has 4 cousins under 9 that he enjoys seeing- so if he had someone to entertain and hang out with everyday he would enjoy it. For your information, I don't mind pets in general, but don't do well with large dogs.
