About Melissa

Experience: 12 yrs

As a dedicated childcare provider with over a decade of experience, I've discovered my passion lies in nurturing children's growth and development. My creative and friendly nature allows me to easily connect with children and make learning fun and engaging. I believe in open communication with parents and prioritize their preferred methods to ensure a trusting partnership. While comfortable enforcing household rules, I also understand the importance of flexibility and adaptation. From educational games to board games and puzzles, I enjoy a variety of activities that stimulate children's minds. With a college degree in early childhood education, First Aid and CPR training, and experience working with special needs children, I am well-equipped to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your little ones. I'm also happy to assist with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping.

Melissa is affectionate and loving, firm but gentle, capable and professional but also fun and funny! She gives kids the boundaries they need to feel safe and simultaneously empowers them to explore. She is an endless source of stimulating activities but also very adaptable to parents' preferences in any matter. She is a natural educator as well: both my three-year old and the other child in her care (only 6 mos older) are starting to decode words and can do basic arithmetic...! I wouldn't have thought to even try. I've learned a lot from Melissa myself as well-- everything from toddler cuisine to discipline strategies -- and she truly is a "professional parent." Her next family will be lucky to have her!
