About Melissa

Hi families! I'm an experienced caregiver with 24 years of experience caring for children of all ages, with a special love for babies and toddlers. I enjoy creating a calm, nurturing, and engaging environment where little ones can learn and grow through imaginative play, creativity, and outdoor activities. You'll usually find us reading books, doing crafts, exploring outside, or using our imaginations instead of spending time on screens, as I strongly prefer little to no screen time. I also have experience caring for children with special needs and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized care. Families describe me as dependable, attentive, and easy to communicate with, and I truly enjoy building long-term relationships with the families I work with. My goal is always to provide safe, loving, and reliable care while supporting each child's development and personality.
