About Mellisa

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello... I'm Mellisa. I separated honorably from the US Navy. Prior to being in the Navy, I was a full time Nanny and student. During my time in the Navy, I worked in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, and OB/GYN. I also completed all requirements for my Medical Assistant Certification. I have had extensive training dealing with neonates all the way up to adults. I am very pro breastfeeding and have had years of experience with proper handling and storage of breast milk. I am also experienced with preparing formula and meds. I am also able to deal with food allergies and different learning challenges. I have a 3-year-old daughter who attends a local Montessori school during the day. I am currently in Law School. I am very gentle parenting minded , holistic , patient , and overall caring. I treat other children with the love and care that I treat my daughter with. I love to do crafts , cook , creative play , read , and teach children.

She is AMAZING with my special needs daughter and my quite rambunctious young son. Her quality of care just cannot be matched! Mellisa is a wonderful caregiver with a heart of gold. She's also very patient and kind and great at teaching kids different things like their numbers and letters and even helped us potty train! We absolutely ADORE her! If you're looking for great, quality, DEPENDABLE care for your babies, Mellisa is your girl!
