Experience: 10 yrs
With over 10 years of experience in the childcare field, I've had the opportunity to care for children of all ages, gaining a deep understanding of their needs, growth, and development. I genuinely love working with children and find so much joy in supporting them as they learn and thrive through every stage of their early years. As the middle child in my family, caregiving has always come naturally to me. I stepped into the world of childcare at 16 and quickly realized it was more than just a job - it was my passion. I'm excited at the possibility of meeting your family! My goal is to create a meaningful, lasting impact through attentive care, consistency, and plenty of fun. Thank you for taking the time to read my bio - I hope we have the chance to connect soon!
Thank God for care providers like Melissa! I don’t have a strong support system, I took my chances with care.com. I’m glad I did, thank you over and over again for helping me with my babies. I’m blessed to have you care for my children.
