About Melissa

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!

I am truly impressed with the service Melissa provides she is very patient and reliable. Her flexibility makes my work possible and my life easier. I am completely impressed with her professionalism and ability to maintain structure in my home without my guidance. I couldn’t have asked for someone better to assist me with my children!
