About Melissa

Creating a nurturing and engaging environment for children is my passion. With eight years of experience caring for children, infants, toddlers, preschoolers and preteens I offer a blend of creativity, patience, and reliability. I am comfortable caring for up to three children. My background includes some college, Early Child Development Coursework, and I'm a Certified Teacher. I hold current First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games with children. I'm also happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel, and swimming supervision. I communicate with parents through verbal updates and regular texts, always respecting your preferred method. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. Supporting families is important to me, and I look forward to the opportunity to bring my calm and friendly approach to your family's childcare needs, perhaps even sharing my love for the Spanish language!
