About Melissa

I'd describe my personality as patient, friendly and nerdy. I like working with kids because they have such a unique outlook on the world, and they can be hilarious. I'm looking for something to supplement my full time job a few hours a week. Call me up to babysit for date night! I don't yet have any childcare experience - but my work in clinical research has prepared me to be patient, detail oriented and energetic! In my spare time, I like to do anything creative! My main hobbies are writing and knitting, with hiking and kayaking thrown in when the weather allows. One thing you should know about me is I'm new to childcare - I'll rely on you to tell me the details of what's needed to ensure the best experience for you and your child/children. My top skills are patience, compassion and conflict resolution.
