About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

I have experience watching numerous children at once. All ages from newborn-preteen. I previously worked in a church daycare. I currently work for a local nanny/childcare agency for the past 5 years, which I love. I'm familiar with making baby food, children with special dietary needs, administering medicine, breathing treatments, cooking, cleaning, bathing & bedtime. Helping school age kids w/ homework, and school projects. I get so much fulfillment working with families as a whole. My primary focus is taking care of the children but it's also my passion to help take care of the parents. In the sense that I want to build a relationship based on trust, communication & jumping in to help the family wherever I can. Cleaning, errands, pets and anything else that comes with the very busy life of having a family.

Melissa has watched my son from 6mo-2yo and she's been a lifesaver. My son just loves her and they have so much fun together. Beyond reliable and always willing to help out. She even helped me with his birthday party. She's become a part of our family honestly. Couldn't imagine the last year and a half without her.
