About Melissa

Experience: 6 yrs

Hello families! I'm an early childhood education student, nanny and part time babysitter! Nurturing young minds and fostering their development is my passion. For the past six years, I've had the joy of caring for children aged newborn to 12 and beyond. I am comfortable caring for up to four children at a time. My approach is patient, calm, and creative, and I love engaging kids with outdoor games, puzzles, and educational activities. I provide daily written reports, communicate verbally, and offer regular text updates so you're always in the loop. Enforcing household rules is something I'm very comfortable with. I am also certified in CPR and First Aid. I speak English and Portuguese. I have a car and I'm comfortable with pets. Ultimately, I aim to be a reliable support for your family, and I look forward to bringing my experience and enthusiasm to your children.
