Melissa Mendoza

As a dedicated mother and nursing student, I bring a deep passion for the well-being, safety, and health of children and youth to my role as a Youth Care Worker. My experiences as a parent have instilled in me a profound understanding of the importance of nurturing care, guidance, and stability in a child’s life. Coupled with my nursing education, I am equipped with the knowledge and empathy needed to address the physical, emotional, and mental health needs of vulnerable youth.

I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and therapeutic environment where children and adolescents can feel valued, empowered, and cared for. My goal is to provide not only immediate care but also to foster long-term resilience and hope, ensuring every child has the opportunity to thrive. My role as a servant-leader is driven by my heartfelt dedication to protecting, advocating for, and uplifting young lives.
