About Melissa

Experience: 5 yrs

As a nurturing and experienced childcare provider with over five years of experience, I'm passionate about supporting families and ensuring the well-being of children. My patient and friendly nature creates a safe and comfortable environment for the little ones in my care. I believe in open communication with parents and regularly provide updates about their child's day. I'm also very comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure consistency and structure for the children. When it comes to playtime, I enjoy engaging children in both educational and fun activities, from outdoor sports to board games and puzzles. My educational background and early child development coursework have equipped me with the knowledge and skills to foster their learning and development. I'm available to care for one child between the ages of one and three. I have a car, am comfortable with pets, and am willing to assist with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping.

Melissa was fantastic! She walked my 6-month-old puppy for the first time and took great care to earn his trust. She sent lots of pictures, provided detailed notes about his behaviors and their activities, and was very responsive. Her kind demeanor and willingness to take an early morning call beforehand made the whole experience seamless.
