Hello, my name is Melissa and I’m classified as an ECE 2. I knew I wanted to work with children from a very young age and it was one of two careers I had in mind for myself growing up. I have, over the years, gained a lot of experience working, volunteering, caring for children & teens ages 0-18 years old. I have completed practicums and volunteered in many centers and schools over the past 10 years and worked in two other Child Care Centers before coming to Prairie Nature Children’s Centre in January 2025.
I am currently studying my ECE 3 by Distance through Assiniboine Community College in Brandon and am hoping to graduate by the end of this year. I am the oldest of my siblings and have played a big role in helping my parents raise them. I have 7 pets (6 cats and 1 dog) at home which are my absolute world. I enjoy spending my free time with my family, my pets, and my friends. Some hobbies of mine are sewing, baking/cooking, creating/making things, snowboarding, camping, boating, kayaking, traveling, gardening and going on adventures around Manitoba.
I am so grateful to have the opportunity to meet and build relationships with all the families and children here at Prairie Nature Children’s Centre.
