About Melisa

Experience: 3 yrs

After 40 years in the corporate world, I'm excited to start a more personal and rewarding chapter-caring for families. I'm a proud mom of two grown children: a teacher and a graphic designer. Raising them was the most fulfilling job of all. I've always been the go-to babysitter for friends and family, and now I'm turning that into a meaningful career. I also co-lead a Girl Scout troop in Riverside with my daughter, planning fun, creative activities that help kids grow. I have personal experience in senior care as well. I cared for my mother for over 10 years while she lived with dementia, and I regularly helped my elderly neighbors by running errands and driving them to appointments since their family lived out of town. I'm calm, dependable, and patient. Whether you're looking for childcare, senior care, or someone who can be a reliable extra set of hands, I'd love the chance to support your family.

Missy is attentive and engaging with my kids. She gets down and plays with them and encourages them to be creative. Missy follows schedules and instructions well and is so kind!
