Hello families! I am 45 years old. I have been working with children for 32 years. I ran a licensed home childcare for 7 years, working with approximately six infants and toddlers per day. I also have many years of experience as a babysitter and a nanny. I've always loved children and enjoyed spending time with them, especially the youngest ones. I've also had experience working with special needs children and I have focused my educational opportunities on expanding my knowledge of best behavioral guidance practices. I've worked primarily with children with Autism but I also have experience with CP, Downs Syndrome, ADHD, Motor Processing, Sensory Issues and physical delays. My style of care is loving and confident. I always have a wonderful time with the children in my care!

Melissa has been sitting for our kids for about a year an we are so grateful we found her! We have two boys age 3 and 4 and they both have special needs. One is on the spectrum and the other has sensory and emotional stuff. They can be a handful, to say the least, and they both love Melissa and have so much fun with her. She's so great at staying calm and helping the boys work through their tantrums. She's also great at reinforcing the recommendations of their therapist and coming up with some of her own ways to deal with their behavior. We would definitely recommend Melissa to anyone whose kids need some extra attention and patience!
