About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! My name is Melissa. Becoming a caregiver stemmed from positive babysitting experiences & having my own children.. I was a SAHM mom for over 10 years. I discovered a passion for positively impacting children's lives and supporting families by offering reliable care and I just love kids! For over 10 years I have cared for children aged 0-11. I raised 5 of my own all grown now so I am experienced in all age groups. My approach is patient, calm, and I am friendly. I am comfortable enforcing household rules. Communication with you is essential. I will follow your preferred method and provide verbal updates. I am comfortable caring for a couple children and am willing to help with light housekeeping & can run errands if needed. My goal is to provide a nurturing and engaging environment where your child can thrive & help make the parents life easier with less housework. I look forward to discussing how I can be a great fit for your family. Melissa.

I had the pleasure of having Melissa care for my 3 children for several years and I can’t recommend her enough. She is responsible, dependable and just has a way with children. She created a warm, safe and engaging environment balancing fun activities with structure and routine. My mind was always at easy when my kids were with her. They love her sooo much and even still til this day have remained close to her and they are 25, 18 and 17 now. Their bond is amazing! Melissa is a kind, caring and truly genuine person. I would absolutely recommend her any day.
