About Merissa

Experience: 10 yrs

I am an experienced nanny in Lexington as well as a doula. I have worked in a variety of settings and for a diverse group of families! The majority of my 10yrs of nanny experience are with children 0-4years old, though I was a K-5 STEM teacher as well. I always have a carseat and am willing to provide transportation within reason if requested. I am a great cook and do not mind cooking for children (without need for instruction), even those with allergies or dietary preferences. I love art, music, and sports, so I would love to incorporate these activities for your children. I am familiar with various parenting and learning styles, such as child-led, Montessori, baby-led weaning, sleep-training, and more. Feel free to ask questions! I can provide references and have many clients for whom I have been a first nanny for their kids!

Merissa took great care of our 2-year-old son while we were in Lexington for the birth of our daughter. Merissa was on time and on top of everything so we didn't have to worry while we were at the hospital. I could tell on the second day that our son had bonded with her. Highly recommend!
