About Melissa

Fostering a child's growth and development is my greatest passion. With 10 years of experience and a graduate degree, I provide reliable, high-quality care for children aged newborn to 12. I hold First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications, and my background as a certified teacher allows me to integrate early child development coursework into daily play. Whether we are engaging in outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or playing educational games, I strive to make a positive impact on every child I support. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and maintaining open communication through your preferred method, whether that be daily reports or verbal updates. I am friendly, patient, and eager to support your family's needs. I have a car and am happy to welcome your pets into our routine. I truly look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your child's journey.
