About Merissa

Hello! My nickname is Moffy. I've been in childcare for over 10 years. I've been a live-in nanny, commuting nanny and an aide at a daycare. I bring my own little one along, she is 2yo. This is beneficial for both the children and each of our families. I'm a warm, fully engaged and very patient person at heart! I aim to create a safe space for children to learn and play. Most of my experience is with newborn babies through 3 years old. My most recent nanny job was with two children aged 9 and 11. I'm currently available for a short term position ending tentatively in November (flexible). I love all animals and am happy to help out with feedings or taking them outside. I've taken the time to educate myself on Montessori and gentle parenting. These align best with my approach in childcare. I'm not strict with structure but am intuitive about reading a child's emotional needs throughout the day.
