About Melissa

Hi! My name is Melissa. I am from Turkey and have a degree in Psychology and Sociology. I have been working with children for 4-5 years, currently in a childcare setting with ages 1-3, and previously with ages 4-5. I support children's development while creating a safe and nurturing environment, and I am very familiar with daily routines. I prefer structured and organized settings. I am warm, patient, and responsible, and I truly enjoy helping children grow. I started as a volunteer during university, providing free education to children, which inspired my career path. I also babysat for a Turkish family in Chicago with three children (ages 12, 7, and 3), organizing daily activities and driving them when needed. In my free time, I enjoy reading, spending time outdoors, and learning more about child development. I always prioritize children's safety and well-being.
