About Melissa
Experience: 1 yr
As a speech-language pathologist of 12 years in my day job, I have extensive experience serving individuals and families with communication and feeding challenges. I provide loving care with patience and empathy, while honoring your family member's growth, independence, and autonomy. I am certified in basic life skills/CPR and non-violent crisis intervention de-escalation techniques for unexpected or challenging behavior. Expect quality engagement without relying on screens.
Most recent review
Melissa just started with us recently but she has already proven to be fantastic with our son! He had a great time singing songs and playing - but also stuck to a schedule, even had a great night sleep :) We are so happy that Care connected us!
