About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello! I'm a mother of 5 children ages 24-12 and love my big crew. I'm also a dog mom of two precocious pomskies, so pets are welcomed. Additionally, I'm an Air Force veteran and a certified Early Childhood Education Director. I previously owned two childcare centers and am certified in preschool, infant and toddler early development. I am CPR/AED and First Aid trained for both adults and children. Currently I work with MCPS as a Paraeducator supporting children with special needs. I've also recently retired from my federal government job and am hoping to assist families part time. I'm excited to connect and see how I can help!

Melissa was so sweet and attentive with our newborn, took him outside, played with him, and sent detailed notes about when he ate and slept. We would so happily hire her again!
