About Melissa

I'd describe myself as compassionate, joyful & Midwestern. I like working with kids for the infectious giggles, honest feedback & opportunity to witness learning about life up close! I'm looking for a role with a family that allows me to contribute in a meaningful way that lessens the load upon the parent(s) & helps the child(ren) grow into their purpose. Babysitting from 12 til college when I began to nanny. Over my past 22 years, nearly 10 have been spent nannying. My spare time: Workout, bake the best banana bread, enjoy my kids & root for Chicago teams! One thing you should know about me is that I'm highly efficient, always punctual, organized & love to be asked to take on more responsibility. My skills include helping children feel valued, expertise in all infant stages and helping create routines that work for families.
