Hi there! I am a part time nanny for 3 families: on Mon/Wed=infant, Tues=1-yr old & Thurs=1-yr old& infant. Babies and toddlers are my favorite: so sweet & cuddly! Everything is new and exciting and I love helping them learn and grow. A bit about me: I have my Bachelor's degree. I was a stay-at-home mom with kiddos who are 14, 16 & 19. Since they are big, I'd love to come and spend quality time taking care of your little love. In addition to my current nanny roles, I most recently was a nanny for 7 different families, starting ages: 4 weeks, 5 weeks, 2-mo, 3-mo, 3-mo, 8-mo & 13-mo. I have also worked in a preschool for 3 years with 2, 3 & 4-yr olds. I am an active nanny & some things I enjoy doing with children is baby sign language, playing, reading, stroller walks, playground, swinging, playing outside, bubbles, chalk, dancing, singing, baking, library, gym/music classes &more. Infant/Child CPR & First Aid certified. Criminal and MVR Background check. Non-smoker. Own a 2022 SUV.

As a first-time mom going back to work, I was really nervous about leaving my new baby with someone new. My husband and I found Melissa and she has been an EXCEPTIONAL nanny to our little one. Our daughter fell in love with Melissa right away! Before hiring her, Melissa came to our home to meet us and our baby, who was a little fussy that day. As soon as Melissa held her, she immediately stopped crying. That's when we knew that she was a special person who is a natural with little ones. Each day Melissa comes to our home, our baby's eyes light up and she makes the biggest smile. While leaving your baby is always hard, knowing that she's happy makes a huge difference. Melissa reads books, sings songs, practices milestones, and brings a fun "bag of tricks' with her to our home for our baby to play with. I have seen growth in my baby's fine motor, gross motor, and communication skills since she has been with Melissa. I am extremely sad that we are moving from the area and will no longer have her as a part of our baby's life, but I am so grateful that we have been able to have the opportunity to work with her! I HIGHLY recommend working with Melissa.
