About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello! I'm Melissa, and I bring over 26 years of hands-on childcare experience as both a nanny and a childcare provider. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I hold a Child Care Specialist diploma from Rasmussen College. I believe in teaching through play, exploration, and creativity- whether it's digging in the dirt for a science moment, painting with messy hands, or diving into a stack of storybooks. I love creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment where children feel confident to learn, grow, and just be themselves. My style is active, patient, and fully present-because I know how important it is for kids to feel seen and supported. If you're looking for someone dependable, nurturing, and truly passionate about early childhood development, l'd love to connect!

Melissa was great with our kids. She has a ton of experience and really left us feeling secure in leaving for the evening! 100% will ask her to come babysit again.
