About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hi! I'm using Care while in graduate school. I'm a certified K-6 teacher. I previously taught K and 1st grade at MDCPS. I'm currently available to assist families with tutoring and pet care, alongside childcare. I have an English BA and Psychology BS from FIU. I've completed additional courses in education at FIU. I have experience working with children via MDCPS, volunteering hours, social programs, research lab opportunities (FIU Psych. department), field hours with MDCPS via FIU, and community outreach programs. I am willing to drive, tutor, run errands, and pet-sit (animal lover!). I'm willing to take your children on trips to parks, gardens, museums, libraries, etc. I'm available on weekdays and weekends. I drive a 2015 Toyota Prius. I have plenty of board games and children's books to bring along, if requested. Member of Fairchild Gardens and Zoo Miami (guests allowed). I'm looking for a recurring job. Feel free to message me if you are interested.

Melissa is great! She communicates very well and understands our child’s needs. She has been with our baby 5 days a week for over three months now. I would refer her to anyone!
