About Melissa

Experience: 8 yrs

Nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones is my greatest passion. With eight years of experience, I provide patient, creative care for up to two children ranging from infants to pre-teens. My background includes Early Child Development coursework, which helps me design educational games that make learning feel like an adventure. I am also comfortable with light housekeeping and meal preparation to keep your home running smoothly. I hold current CPR Training and First Aid certifications to ensure a safe environment. I prioritize your preferences by following your household rules and communicating through your chosen method, whether that is a quick text or a detailed chat at pickup. My experience with special needs children has taught me how to adapt my approach to meet every child's unique requirements. I look forward to building a meaningful connection with your family and supporting your children as they grow.

Melissa has babysat for us a few times now. She is very kind, patient, and prompt. She was very engaging with our daughter, and she shows great care and attentiveness. We would hire her again!
