About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
For over 15 years I've been dedicated to nurturing children's growth and positively impacting their lives. My college degree, coupled with Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Early Child Development coursework, has provided me with an early childhood special education teaching license and a strong foundation in childhood development. I am a patient, creative, and compassionate caregiver, skilled in communicating with parents using their preferred method. I am comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I hold current First Aid Training and CPR Training. I'm also experienced with special needs children. I am comfortable caring for many children of all ages. I can assist with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. Speaking both English and French, I can provide a diverse and enriching experience. I am eager to bring my skills and passion to your family.

Melissa is very trustworthy with my children. She listens to them and is patient with them. We’ve only had good experiences with Melissa caring for my children. And our children respect her as a leader and educator.
