About Melissa

Hi! I'm Melissa. I'd describe myself as caring, patient, dependable, and positive. I recently moved from New York to Weldon Spring, Missouri, and am excited to connect with local families. I enjoy cooking and meal prep and am always mindful of allergies and dietary needs. I believe in hands-on play, creativity, reading, outdoor activities, and limiting screen time whenever possible. I'm also happy to help with light housekeeping, laundry, dishes, and keeping the home tidy. I've cared for children most of my life. As the oldest of eight close-knit cousins, I naturally grew up helping with younger children. I later worked as a nanny and have volunteered through my church with children from 3 months old through the teenage years. My goal is to provide reliable support while creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for your children. I look forward to connecting with your family!
