A little bit about me

My name is Melissa Lufkin, and I am 39 years old, single with no kids. I grew up in West Hartford, Connecticut. I have a bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology from Keene State College in New Hampshire. I fell into afterschool programming at the elementary & middle school level, and then went on to work as a special education teaching assistant/ behavioral therapist in private schools and the public school districts.
The joy of shaping young minds, nurturing their self-esteem, and encouraging their growth is truly rewarding. The unpredictability that comes with working with school-age children keeps me energized and engaged. I have over 10 years of professional experience supervising, implementing and developing various programs for Pre-K through 8th grade in various roles. I am a punctual, reliable, flexible and an adaptable babysitter. I’d love to help out with running errands, completing light housekeeping tasks to make your lives a little easier.

Managed a before & after school program as a Head Teacher/Site Coordinator at Wolcott Elementary School in West Hartford for 4 years under the YWCA Hartford Region.

personnel, school committees, community organizations, and

strengthened my skills in leading teams, building consensus, and
motivating others to reach their fullest potential. My goal has
been to use my management and leadership experience to
inspire cooperation & teamwork with both my colleagues & students. Working with these children has made a significant impact on my life that inspired me to be the educator, and role model I am today.
