About Melissa
Experience: 5 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am also a certified postpartum doula and offer overnight care! Postpartum care includes support to both parents and baby as well as recovery as well as all the moving parts that your baby needs! I'd love to connect and touch more on my experience and answer any questions you might have. I have been in childcare long before becoming a mama. Prior to having my daughter I have done full time nannying of multiples, worked in a daycare center as well as home schooling and covid pods. Among the experience I have, I am pursuing my degree in child development and am almost completed with my bachelors. I prefer a Montessori approach with little to no screen time! sign language and other ways to communicate with the littles is one of the most rewarding outcomes when they pick up one it. Working with children has always been a passion of mine from a young age. I have been CPR certified several times as well as worked in the childcare industry upwards of 5 years.

We started working with Melissa when our son was about 2 months old. We desperately needed sleep and were fortunate enough to find Melissa! From the moment we met her we immediately felt at ease. She is extremely communicative and helped us establish a game plan for night wakes and feeds. Once we got into a groove, we were able to sleep soundly knowing that Melissa had it covered. She would provide notes about how he did throughout the night, and give suggestions on how we may be able to improve his sleep. We worked with Melissa for a few months and it was wonderful. I wish we would’ve found her sooner, but I’m so happy we had the opportunity to work with her.
