About Melissa

Experience: 20 yrs

I'm an experienced childcare provider with a passion for fostering children's growth and development. With 20 years of experience, I have the skills and knowledge to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child. I'm patient, calm, creative, and friendly, and I know how to communicate effectively with parents about their child's day or any issues that arise. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules, and I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, and educational games. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children of any age group, from infants to preteens. I have some college education, and I'm certified in CPR and First Aid. I also speak both English and Spanish. I have a car, and I'm comfortable with pets. I look forward to meeting you and your family and providing your child with the best possible care.
