Hello, I would describe my personality as fun and outgoing. Currently, I am working for a family which has been a joy and their child has been under my charge since he was 6 months old. He is now about to be three. We have worked well together and I'm looking for a part-time job to fill-in extra time on Fridays or Saturdays. I'm looking for a respectful and considerate family, someone who is honest and upfront, and gives honest pay for honest work. I'm certified in first aid and CPR. I started caring for others in my life when quite young whether they were children, parents or old family friends. In my spare time I like to do everything literally I am a very outgoing positive person. I'm kind, honest, caring, considerate, punctual, and will work where there's appreciation for what is done, my skills include whatever is needed to be done and within my abilities, which are many. Thank you for having a looksee and I hope to chat with you

Melissa has been an invaluable member of our household since February 2021, serving as a housekeeper, cook, and nanny to our toddler. In her role, Melissa’s dedication and talent extend far beyond the typical responsibilities. She has a remarkable ability to engage with our son, providing nurturing care and educational activities. Her efforts have significantly contributed to his social development and overall well-being. Melissa’s culinary skills are truly exceptional. She not only ensures our son enjoys nutritious and well-balanced meals but also regularly prepares meals for our entire family, crafting a variety of healthy and delicious dishes tailored to our tastes and dietary needs. Her resourcefulness in the kitchen is remarkable—she has an incredible knack for transforming whatever ingredients we have on hand into creative and flavorful treats and meals. Beyond her childcare and cooking duties, Melissa has taken considerable initiative in enhancing our home environment. She has helped with child-proofing our home, deep cleaning, and reorganizing to better utilize the space for our son’s safety and enjoyment. This attention to detail has greatly improved our family’s daily life. Her punctuality, consistently positive demeanor, and willingness to adapt to our schedule—often staying late due to my job responsibilities—are qualities that make her an exceptional employee. Melissa’s ability to maintain a tidy and organized household further demonstrates her professionalism and commitment to her work. Melissa has become an indispensable part of our family, not only preparing our son for preschool but also fostering a bond of affection and trust. Her kindness, dedication, and energy have enriched our lives in countless ways, and we consider her a part of our extended family. I am confident she will bring the same level of excellence and positive impact to any future role she takes on.
