About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
hello, I am a mother of three children. I have been working in childcare for over 10 years. I worked in a nursery, and enjoy caring for children newborn to 12 yrs old. I was nanny to my amazing nephew for 2 years until he moved out of state. I also cared for a family with a newborn and 3 yr old. I will happily provide you with contact numbers for recommendations or letters. I absolutely love children and providing a safe, happy and caring environment. I am CPR certified and a non smoker. Caring for children truly is a joy for me.
Most recent review
Melissa has truly been a godsend. She’s known our son since he was 1 (he’s now 3), and she has been more than simply a babysitter to him. Melissa has taken the time to get to know him, foster his developing interests, and create memorable experiences. She’s taken him fishing, on nature walks, swimming, baking, and playing outside—always finding ways to combine fun with learning. For the past year, Melissa has been with us five days a week, and her reliability, patience, and genuine care have given us complete peace of mind. The only reason our arrangement is changing is due to our own work and household schedule; otherwise, we would happily continue with her for years to come. Melissa is thoughtful, responsible, and creative in her care. She not only keeps children safe but also helps them thrive and grow. We cannot recommend her highly enough to any family blessed to have her.
