About Melissa
Experience: 35 yrs
With over decades of experience caring for children of all ages, I bring a nurturing and engaging approach to childcare. My passion lies in fostering each child's unique development while providing a safe and supportive environment. I have a college degree and have completed Early Child Development coursework. I am also First Aid and CPR Trained. I am comfortable caring for up to two children and enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and outdoor sports. I'm happy to assist with cooking, light housekeeping, crafts, carpooling, and swimming supervision. I prioritize open communication with parents, following your preferred method, and am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I am a certified teacher. Ultimately, I hope to create a fun and enriching experience for your children.
Most recent review
Melissa got here a little bit late, but she made up for it by staying a bit longer. She's super friendly and was able to be flexible with our needs. Melissa was very concious about health safety and immediately asked about allergies and medications that she would have to look out for and take care of. She even offered to bring extra supplies to help keep my daughter occupied. My daughter was upset when she had to leave, so that's a good sign. I was also happy with Melissa's response time. I was beginning to think we wouldn't be able to find a sitter because everyone else wouldn't respond. I'm grateful for the help she provided.
