About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi my name is Melissa and I absolutely love children and have over 35 years of childcare experience starting out as a mother's helper at 13, babysitting, working at a daycare and nannying. My last position of 3 years for two wonderful girls ended as the youngest started kindergarten. I was an assistant teacher in an infant room (4 infants to 1 adult ratio) and then lead teacher in a toddler room (6 toddlers to 1 adult ratio). Was responsible for all their daily needs- feeding, diapering, napping, playing, circle time ect. I have experience with infants up until teenagers. I am responsible, reliable, patient, warm and loving and can provide a nurturing environment for your young one to blossom and grow. -Passed all background and fingerprinting checks as required by law to work at a daycare -Has own transportation -Available for occasional weeknight/weekend childcare

Melissa has been an amazing caretaker for our daughters ever since they were 2 and 4. Over the years, she cared for them as if they were her own, and we truly consider her part of our family. We always felt completely at ease knowing our kids were with someone as genuine and caring as her. We’d recommend her in a heartbeat—she’s full of love, joy, and attentive care, and your kids will definitely thrive with her around!
