About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

I have 23 years of experience working with children between being a mother and watching children through the years plus 7 years at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia as a Respiratory Therapist. I resigned from CHOP in 2021 to pursue my passion of holistic health as a Reiki practitioner/teacher/natural wellness guide (low tox living). I have been a Reiki practitioner for 9 years. I'm a believer in doing all the things you love, and working with children does bring me joy. One of the best parts of my previous job was helping the nurses with feedings, diaper changes, consoling or just keeping the children company when they were alone. I consider myself to be nurturing, compassionate, positive, humorous and upbeat. I live a very healthy lifestyle therefore most comfortable in likeminded households. I like doing outdoor activities and just being in nature, reading, creative play, mind/body practices and more. I'm also an animal lover so I'm open to assisting with pet care.

Melissa is great with my 4m/o son. She is punctual, flexible, and dependable. She agreed to meet with me before starting with us to get familiar with how we do things. She reads to him, plays with him, and sings to him. We are very grateful for her!
