About Melissa

Experience: 8 yrs

Hi, my name is Melissa! I have been nannying for 8 years now. I am a recent graduate with a degree in Child Psychology. I also have worked for an international children's theater organization for 4 years as a drama instructor and a musical director, an accelerated learning preschool as a teacher's assistant for 3 years, for Play N' Learn Center in early childhood development for 2 years, for Disney World in an internship program, and for many summer camps as a counselor/instructor. Because of my job experience and area of study, I have a wealth of knowledge in activities, games, and entertainment for kids! My main goal is to keep kids' minds active and engaged by mixing fun with learning! I am CPR/First Aid trained through the Safe Sitter program. I love to cook and bake, I am completely comfortable driving your kids (provided a car seat, etc.), and I am a huge animal lover! Resume available upon request. Thank you for your consideration and hope to hear from you soon!

If you are the type that doesn't like it when your kids like the sitter better than you then Melissa is not for you! She isn't loved because she gives them anything they want or gives in to demands. It is quite the opposite. She comes with a plan (and sometimes props) and my girls are immersed in a wonderful adventure for the day. She is smart, creative, and confident. Melissa is an excellent role model and very responsible. You will want to send your kids to work so you can stay home with her :-)
