About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi! I'm a NYC-based Registered Nurse with 15+ years of childcare experience. I am highly comfortable with kids of all ages. As a big sister, I have been babysitting since I was 12 years old, so caring for children is second nature to me. My nursing background means I'm calm, safety-focused, and highly attentive to those under my care. Prior to completing my nursing education, I nannied and babysat for several families in NYC. I am not a phone-scrolling babysitter. I love actively engaging kids through reading, games, puzzles, creative play, and music. I'm very active and happy to get moving, from park time, playgrounds, walks, or indoor games. If your child has energy to spare, I can wear them out! I'm also comfortable helping with: • Homework • Light household duties • Dog walking/pet care Parents describe me as fun, reliable, engaging, and trustworthy. At this time, I am comfortable caring for a maximum of two children. I look forward to meeting your family! Melissa
Most recent review
Melissa was an invaluable help with my twins. She is reliable, patient and creative in engaging them. My children immediately felt safe and comfortable with her, and knowing she is a nurse is a huge relief! I trust Melissa with my children and in my home.
