About Melissa
Experience: 6 yrs
Hello! My name is Melissa! I'm a college student taking mostly online classes, which gives me flexibility in my schedule (though it may change occasionally). I'm passionate about working with children and love engaging them in creative age appropriate activities, whether it's arts and crafts, creating games, or coming up with fun projects that help them learn while having a great time! I have over six years of childcare experience, babysitting for family, friends, and neighbors with children of various ages. For the past three years, I've consistently worked with two amazing families. When I started with them, each had one child, but as their families grew, I cared for their younger children as well. I've also worked for a professional nanny company (Kennedy Care) providing backup care, where I gained valuable experience. My background has taught me to be adaptable, patient, and creative. Caring for children isn't just a job for me it's something I truly enjoy.
Most recent review
Melissa was our family's nanny for the past school year. She provided exceptional care for our son, who was 10 months old when she started. During her time with us, Melissa consistently demonstrated an outstanding level of dependability, always arriving promptly and ensuring that she fulfilled her responsibilities to the utmost degree. Her commitment to the well-being and happiness of our son was truly remarkable. She showed great kindness, patience, and warmth, creating a nurturing and loving environment that had a profound impact on our son’s development. What set Melissa apart was her exceptional level of responsibility and engagement. She actively engaged with our son, stimulating his curiosity and providing a range of age-appropriate activities that fostered his growth and learning. Whether it was reading books, playing educational games, or encouraging creative exploration, she consistently went above and beyond to provide a stimulating environment for our son's development, seeking to incorporate activities that he especially enjoyed. We were also impressed with Melissa’s excellent communication skills. She built a strong rapport with our family and maintained open lines of communication, keeping us informed about our son's daily activities, milestones, and any concerns that arose. This level of transparency and professionalism gave us great peace of mind, knowing that our child was in the hands of someone who genuinely cared about his well-being. In summary, I would wholeheartedly recommend Melissa for any childcare position. Her dependability, kindness, sense of responsibility, and high level of engagement make her an exceptional caregiver. It is clear that she genuinely enjoys caring for children and loves participating in their daily lives and development. Our family has been incredibly fortunate to have her as part of our lives, and we are confident that she will bring the same level of dedication and love to any child she works with. She will be a tremendous asset to any family fortunate enough to have her.
