Melissa M.
I’m a reliable, multilingual professional based in Ottawa, currently on an open work permit and actively seeking a long-term opportunity with an employer who is open to supporting an LMIA. My goal is to continue building my future in Canada through meaningful work that helps others. Though I’m not a trained caregiver yet, I bring a strong background in education and a genuine passion for helping people. I’ve been teaching English to children since I was 16, and I worked as a Head Teacher at a bilingual primary school, where I supported second-grade students both academically and emotionally. I also have personal caregiving experience from over a year of helping care for my mother and grandparents. I speak four languages, English, Spanish, French, and Italian, and I’m also a creative soul who loves painting and the arts. I'm an architect by profession. I believe in creating safe, supportive, and joyful environments for others, and I’m looking for a caregiving role within Ottawa where I can grow, contribute, and support a family in a meaningful way.
I have previous formal experience as a Head Teacher for a second-grade classroom, where I was responsible not only for teaching but also for the day-to-day care, emotional support, and safety of my students. This role involved creating structured routines, managing group activities, and helping children grow both academically and personally. In addition to my teaching background, I’ve also provided long-term care for my mother and grandparents, supporting them with their daily routines, medication, meals, and companionship for over a year. That time taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of being attentive to someone’s emotional and physical well-being. While I may not have formal experience in a Canadian caregiving role yet, I bring real-life caregiving skills, a nurturing nature, and a strong commitment to adapting quickly to a family’s specific needs. I'm ready to continue learning and to provide high-quality, compassionate care.
