About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
I am a responsible and caring individual (mid-forties), with a natural ability to connect with children. My patient and warm-hearted nature help me build strong relationships with kids, making them feel comfortable and valued. I find joy in engaging children in creative activities, playing games that encourage learning, and exploring the world through their imaginative eyes. Over the past 10-plus years, I have had the privilege of working with children ranging between the ages of 5 and 18 in the UK and the US. My experience includes interactive play, meal preparation, bedtime routines, dealing with challenging behaviors, assisting with homework, and performing light household duties. I've had the pleasure of watching children grow, learn, and develop under my care by fostering a positive and supportive environment every step of the way. I would be delighted to discuss how I am able to be a valuable addition to your family.

I needed someone last minute for my 4 month old and although she didn't have much experience with infants, I felt comfortable after speaking to her and talking her through what needed to be done. She did a great job and bonded really well with my baby. Will definitely use her again when needed. Thank you Melissa.
