About Melissa

Experience: 4 yrs

Hi! I'm Melissa, and I'm excited to share a bit about myself with you! I'm currently an associate (wrap-care) teacher in the West Village and I'm almost finished with my degree in education studies-just a few more steps to go! In my journey over the past four years, I've had the joy of wearing many hats in the childcare world. From being an associate teacher to a head camp counselor, and even a divisional lead counselor, each experience has deepened my understanding of how children grow and thrive. I really hone into helping kids develop important skills like fine motor skills, emotional intelligence, and social skills. What matters most to me is building a foundation of trust, kindness, and empathy with the children I care for. I believe that every child deserves a safe and supportive space to explore and learn, and I can't wait to bring that energy into your home. I truly look forward to the opportunity to connect with you and be a part of your child's journey!

Melissa S. is wonderful with kids! She is incredibly kind and patient with them. I worked alongside Melissa at a whole-child summer camp for two years, where she was one of the most dedicated counselors there. She is also getting her Bachelors in education and is proficient in ASL!
