About Melissa
Experience: 3 yrs
Nurturing children's growth and development is a true passion of mine. My previous babysitting experiences solidified my desire to positively impact young lives, leading me to five wonderful years as a caregiver. I am patient, calm, and friendly, always prioritizing open communication with you using your preferred method. I am comfortable caring for up to four children, ages newborn to 11, and happily enforce household rules. My background includes some graduate coursework, First Aid Training, CPR Training, Early Childhood Education (ECE), and Early Child Development Coursework. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational activities. I can also assist with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I believe in creating a fun and safe environment where children can thrive, and I would love to bring my energy and experience to your family.
Most recent review
We highly recommend Melissa, who cared for our 9-month-old for about 8 months. She was incredibly reliable and always arrived on time. She kept our son active and engaged, taking him on 2–3 walks around the neighborhood every single day, weather permitting. She was also happy to track the precise times of his naps, the exact time and ounces of bottles consumed, and all of his wet and dirty diapers as we requested. While he was napping, she was very helpful, cleaning his bottles and doing his laundry. Additionally, she went above and beyond by creating holiday art using his footprints, which we still cherish on our fridge. She kept our child engaged with his toys, researching his progress in reaching milestones, attending pediatric appointments with us, and forming a caring bond with him. We are only parting ways because I have decided to become a stay-at-home mom. She was a wonderful nanny to our child and any household would be lucky to have her! We plan to stay in touch and she offered to nanny for my husband and I if we want to go out for a date night!
