About Melisa

Experience: 7 yrs

Hi! I'm Meli - an energetic, responsible, and caring Argentinian with a true passion for working with children. What I love most about kids is their creativity, imagination, and their joyful way of looking at the world. I believe there's so much we can learn from them. I have several years of childcare experience with children of all ages, from newborns to 14 years old. Over the years, I've worked with many families and have developed a strong sense of empathy, patience, and adaptability. I hold a university degree in Nutrition, which gives me an added understanding of children's health, wellness, and developmental needs. I'm also neat, organized, and attentive to detail - I take pride in creating safe and engaging environments for kids to grow and thrive. Outside of work, I love being outdoors and exercising. Nature always brings me peace and joy! Thank you for visiting my profile. I'm excited to connect and learn more about your family's needs! Warmly, Meli

Melly is amazing. We would hire her to watch our kids again in a heartbeat and couldn't imagine finding someone better for our kids and our family. Melly cared for our twin 1.5 year olds. We've had worked with several nannies up to that point in the kids' lives, several of whom were wonderful; Melly stands out as the best by far. Our kids are very sweet and fun, but from what we've seen with our family and friends are kids are on the wild side. Additionally, when Melly started with us our kids were in the middle of a big sleep regression and getting serious separation anxiety. By the end of her first week she was rocking both kids to sleep for naps with no help and the kids were waving good by as we headed to work. By the end of week two our kids were hugging Melly goodbye at the end of the day and counting and naming animals in Spanish :) She was always prompt and professional. She always went above and beyond to care for the kids, the space, and us and showed exceptional emotional intelligence deal with the different personalities and complexities of our family. But beyond that, Melly showed up to our home every day with a positive energy that brightened the room. She is a genuine, hard-working, loving person and no amount of words can describe what she gave to our family and how much she's come to mean to us.
