About Melissa

Experience: 6 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I've always had a passion for nurturing the growth and development of children. With over 6 years of experience in childcare, I have worked with a wide range of age groups, from infants to preteens, including children with special needs. My experience as a Certified Nursing Assistant and ABA therapist has further enhanced my ability to provide compassionate and skilled care. I believe in fostering a nurturing and safe environment where children feel respected, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. My patient and calm demeanor, combined with my creativity and imagination, allows me to engage children in various activities that are both educational and enjoyable. I understand the importance of open and transparent communication with parents. I provide daily written reports, regular updates via text or phone calls, and engage in verbal communication during pickup to ensure that parents are well-informed about their child's day and any issues that may arise.

Melissa provided ABA therapy services to my son for a few years. Melissa had proven to be compassionate about her work, it showed every time she helped my son with a new skill. She was punctual, professional and just genuinely kind. Melissa taught my son skills that allowed him to regulate himself, which reduced his impulsivity. She taught him problem solving and communication skills that allowed him to be more sociable. On a daily basis she assisted him with school work, motor skills and socializing. She followed all of his ABA lessons, helping him master skills he often struggled with. The therapy she provided for my son was priceless- my son would not have developed these skills without Melissa’s unconditional support. She truly was professional and caring towards my child. Melissa is qualified to manage several children at a time. Often, my other children would be part of the therapy sessions she held with my son. Outside of home, Melissa also facilitated social play dates with my son. Melissa will be a remarkable care taker for any family in need.
