About Melissa

Hello me name is Melissa and I have over 16 years of experience working with children. I began working at a daycare when I was 16 years old. I worked with infants up to 4 years old. While I was in high school I also babysat for several different families. During this time I gained so much knowledge in the different developmental stages that children go through and I loved being part of that. After I got married I nannied for two different families until I moved and took a job as a preschool teacher at a childcare center. I was a preschool teacher for 5 years and loved every minute of it. Myself and my co-teacher had 20 kids ages 3-5 and our days were filled with fun activities, arts, group time, outside time, and free play. I learned how to deal with so many different situations and behaviors in a loving and supportive way. I also very much enjoyed getting to know the families that were in my classroom. This fall I will start at Columbus State and am looking for part time work.
