About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello, my name is Jo (I go by my middle name) and I am looking for families to babysit for. I have 20 years of teaching/nanny/childcare experience that ranges from newborns to young adults. I have worked as a tutor, nanny, preschool and pre-k teacher, k-8 and high school English Language Arts teacher. I am currently working as a substitute teacher, music teacher and tutor. I am a very laid back and patient person that values understanding and mutual respect with the children I am caring for. Over the past years I have developed some really special relationships with the families that I have worked for and still continue to connect and do childcare for most of them.
