About Melissa
Experience: 9 yrs
Hi! My name is Melissa. I'm 28 and living in Reno, NV while completing nursing prerequisites full-time at UNR. I started nannying infants professionally at 19, and I have been missing it a lot, so I'm excited to get back to caring for babies. I prefer working with one child at a time, under 12 months old, so I can stay focused and build a strong connection with them. I'm an EMT with almost 5 years of experience, including 911 ambulance response and pediatric emergency care as a Senior Trauma Technician at UC D in the ED. My background helps me notice early changes in breathing, feeding tolerance, or behavior, always in a calm, safety-first way that supports parents' peace of mind. Outside of work, my fiancé is a firefighter, we love Tahoe outdoor recreation, and our doodle Piper is basically our baby. I value routines, developmental play, and clear communication. If you need part-time infant care 1-2 days a week, I'd love to connect.
Most recent review
Melissa was our son's full time nanny and did an incredible job over the last several months. She was honest, punctual, and responsible. My wife and I were uneasy at first with the idea of having a nanny but Melissa delivered, and our son made a loving and trusting connection with her - as did we. We are transitioning our son into a Montessori program and that is the sole reason we will unfortunately no longer have Melissa full time. We consider her part of our family and we have no reservations about providing her both a high recommendation as well as a reference!
