About Melissa

Experience: 7 yrs

Hi everyone! Caring for children and bringing joy into their everyday lives means everything to me. My journey in childcare started over a decade ago, though I've been working professionally in this field for the past 7 years. I'm certified in First Aid and CPR. I'm comfortable caring for multiple children and am happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, and supervision in and out of your residence. I also respect and support household routines, and I'm happy to communicate in the way that works best for your family so we all can be on the same page. I believe in a warm, creative, and engaging approach that helps children feel supported and confident. I'm always on the lookout for meaningful, teachable moments that turn everyday experiences into opportunities for learning and connection. I hope to be able to be a part of your family's journey!

Melissa has cared for our children for several years and quickly became part of our family. She’s warm, intuitive, and attentive, often anticipating our kids’ needs before they voice them. She’s even joined us on family vacations! We trust her completely and recommend her wholeheartedly to any family.
