About me, and written by me: Hi, I'm Melissa! My heart has always been rooted in service - when I was younger, I received the President's Volunteer Service Award, and I've carried that spirit into both my professional career and the way I care for children. I'm patient, creative, and love supporting kids as they learn and grow. I enjoy outdoor play, board games, crafts, and making everyday routines fun and engaging. Most recently, my career has been in consulting and nonprofit leadership, but I'm excited to return to part-time childcare. Much earlier in my working world, I was a nanny for a lively family in Hillsborough from 2011-13, and I look forward to bringing that same warmth and reliability to your family. I'm CPR and First Aid trained, have completed Early Childhood Development coursework, and am comfortable caring for multiple children as well as helping with light household tasks, carpooling, and pets (love dogs!).
We recently hired Melissa to carpool our 8th graders. Melissa has been consistently responsive to communication, thorough in learning about our family’s needs, and transparent in sharing important background details. Melissa's attention to safety and reliability has given us confidence in entrusting her with our children. After meeting Melissa in person, we were further impressed by her professionalism and genuine care for doing her best.
