About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

I'm a kind, compassionate, & fun-loving caregiver with over 10 years of experience mentoring children ages 5-13 and more than 20 yrs in healthcare. I've created and led inner-city children's programs, secured grants for the programs & free lunches, & love introducing kids to creativity, nature, healthy cooking, and new ideas. I'm a board-certified holistic health practitioner & nutritionist with a nursing background, CPR & first aid certified, as well as a qualified medication administrator. I'm confident preparing nutritious home-cooked meals for children and adults, as well as home made dog food After years in healthcare, I'm choosing a more simpler, more intentional life -- supporting families, enjoying the outdoors, and creating schedules that allow balance for everyone. I'm attentive, nurturing, and happy to help with light housekeeping, outdoor adventures, or bringing your little one or furry friend along for fresh air & fun!
