Hi everyone! My name is Melissa Morgan, and I am currently a junior in college. I am offering childcare as well as pet care services.
In terms of pet care, I was the most active during my senior year of high school as I took care of the pets of friends and family, as well as some teachers. I have continued these services throughout my last 2 years of college and have been the most available during my breaks. I have 3 years of pet care experience under my belt; I offer help with pet training, dog walking, and in-home care for dogs and cats.
I also provide childcare services. I have 2 years of experience, as I have babysat for neighbors and local families. I work with children ages 3-10. I am CPR and Narcan certified, available to drive locally (such as nearby parks/playgrounds), and help with homework, daily activities, cooking, and baking.
I can travel a few suburbs/towns away from Boston for work.

I recently graduated from Northeastern University with a B.S. in Psychology. I am continuing my education at Boston University for a master's degree Social Work. I have worked with children for the past 2 years. I have worked as a teacher's assistant, an afterschool group leader, a camp counselor, and a camp supervisor/manager. I have mainly worked with children with special needs, and I am proficient in behavioral intervention, conflict mediation, and aiding in emotional regulation for kiddos. I plan to become a children's therapist, and working with kids is my passion.
I'm currently a senior in high school, working hard to finish my final year strong. Throughout my high school career, I've focused on my studies and participated in various extracurricular activities. My passion for helping others, especially kids, has led me to pursue a career in pediatric nursing. I'm excited about the prospect of going to college to further my education and training in this field, where I can combine my love for children with my desire to make a positive impact on their lives.
