About Melissa

Experience: 4 yrs

As a caregiver, my passion lies in nurturing children's growth and positively impacting their lives. I'm a former Pre-k teacher, and I also have experience in working with infants and toddlers. I've developed a patient, creative, and friendly approach to childcare. I prioritize open communication with parents, ensuring their preferred method is followed, whether it's verbal updates at pickup or regular text/phone call updates. I love making crafts and creative play. From outdoor activities to board games and educational games, I enjoy a variety of activities that promote physical, mental, and social development. I'm a certified teacher with CPR and First Aid training. I hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) credential. .

We are incredibly grateful to have found Melissa to care for our 21m old daughter! She has been with us for 10 months now, and we couldn’t be happier. With her experience as a Pre-K teacher, Melissa truly understands child development and brings a wealth of knowledge and creativity every day. Our daughter has blossomed under her care, learning new skills and developing confidence. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, nurturing, and professional, I can’t recommend Melissa enough!
