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
I highly recommend Melissa as a babysitter. She is incredibly trustworthy, kind, and genuinely wonderful with children. Her background as a speech pathologist gives her a unique ability to communicate with kids in a patient, engaging, and developmentally supportive way. She’s thoughtful, responsible, and always brings a calm, positive energy into any home. Any family would be lucky to have her…she’s educated, reliable, and someone you can feel completely confident leaving your children with.
