About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Nurturing children and supporting families is truly my passion. For over 20 years, I've had the joy of taking care and teaching young children. I am patient, friendly, and I always communicate openly with parents. I happily would follow your household rules. I have over 20 yrs of experience working in several child- care roles: such as day-care teacher/ assistant in daycare for infants / toddlers/ preschoolers. I have provided home childcare for the past 3 yrs. I enjoy engaging children in playing outdoors, gross motor and creative art activities that make learning fun. I have an Associates degree in Early Childhood Education (ECE) I'm comfortable caring for one or several children. I have my own car, and am comfortable with pets. I am willing to help with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I find immense joy in creating a safe and stimulating environment where your child can thrive, and I look forward to the possibility of becoming a part of your family's routine.
