About Melissa

Experience: 20 yrs

Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, a journey I have dedicated myself to for the past 20 years. As a certified teacher with extensive Early Child Development coursework, I offer a patient, calm, and creative environment for up to three children. I hold CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications to ensure a safe space for your little ones. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or engaging in educational games, I prioritize active learning. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I am comfortable with pets and prioritize your preferred communication style to keep you updated throughout the day. I am very comfortable enforcing your household rules to maintain consistency. It is my sincere joy to support your family and watch your children thrive as if they were my own.

Missy was our nanny for almost 3.5 years, and started when my son was 6 months old and my daughter was almost 2.5 years old. Missy is kind and loving, took our kids out in the community to different playgrounds, the library, special events and different activities, and always had creative art projects for them to do at home. Our kids loved their time with her and we are very thankful to have found her as a nanny! I would highly recommend Missy to any family seeking care.
