Hello! My name is Melissa, and I'm a dedicated nanny with over 8 years of experience, as well as a proud mom myself. Caring for children has always been a natural part of my life, and I bring both professional expertise and personal understanding to every family I work with. I've supported families with children of all ages-helping with everything from daily routines and homework to fun, enriching activities that keep kids engaged and happy. My approach is warm, patient, and dependable, and I always prioritize safety, trust, and open communication. Being a parent has taught me how important it is to find someone you can count on-and that's exactly the kind of care I strive to provide. I'd love the chance to support your family and be a positive part of your child's day!

I am writing to highly recommend Melissa for a childcare position. I have had the pleasure of working with her for the past three years (since December 2021), and she has consistently exceeded my expectations in caring for my two children. She cared for my then newborn and preschooler, now both toddlers starting pre-k and elementary school respectively. Her key strengths include patience, reliability, and ability to create a safe and nurturing environment for the children. She was nurturing and careful with my three month old at the time, including preparing his puréed meals and bottle feeding. She ensured the children were fed, dressed and transported to and from preschool/activities on a daily basis. She is creative and proactive in planning kids activities, running errands, and is able to work under challenging situations. In addition to her childcare skills, Melissa is a warm, compassionate, and trustworthy individual. She communicates effectively with both parents and children, ensuring that everyone feels comfortable and well-cared-for. I wholeheartedly recommend Melissa for any family seeking a dedicated and loving caregiver. She has become an integral part of our family, and I am confident that she will bring the same level of commitment and care to any household.
