About Melissa
Experience: 4 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! My name is Melissa! A little bit to know about me is that I love music. I almost always have something playing. I also love to be outdoors, even if it's just sitting around. I am a college student, mostly online, but know my schedule can change each semester. A couple of things I love to do when working with children are getting creative with age appropriate arts and crafts, creating games, and fun activities while helping them learn at the same time! When it comes to experience, I have gained a lot over the past 5 years. I have always babysat for family, friends, and neighbors, with children of varying ages. Professionally, I worked for a nanny company called Kennedy Care, doing backup care. I learned a lot about caring for younger ages there. I have nannied for 2 families now over the past 3 years. I still am with one on Fridays.

Melissa was our family's nanny for the past school year. She provided exceptional care for our son, who was 10 months old when she started. During her time with us, Melissa consistently demonstrated an outstanding level of dependability, always arriving promptly and ensuring that she fulfilled her responsibilities to the utmost degree. Her commitment to the well-being and happiness of our son was truly remarkable. She showed great kindness, patience, and warmth, creating a nurturing and loving environment that had a profound impact on our son’s development. What set Melissa apart was her exceptional level of responsibility and engagement. She actively engaged with our son, stimulating his curiosity and providing a range of age-appropriate activities that fostered his growth and learning. Whether it was reading books, playing educational games, or encouraging creative exploration, she consistently went above and beyond to provide a stimulating environment for our son's development, seeking to incorporate activities that he especially enjoyed. We were also impressed with Melissa’s excellent communication skills. She built a strong rapport with our family and maintained open lines of communication, keeping us informed about our son's daily activities, milestones, and any concerns that arose. This level of transparency and professionalism gave us great peace of mind, knowing that our child was in the hands of someone who genuinely cared about his well-being. In summary, I would wholeheartedly recommend Melissa for any childcare position. Her dependability, kindness, sense of responsibility, and high level of engagement make her an exceptional caregiver. It is clear that she genuinely enjoys caring for children and loves participating in their daily lives and development. Our family has been incredibly fortunate to have her as part of our lives, and we are confident that she will bring the same level of dedication and love to any child she works with. She will be a tremendous asset to any family fortunate enough to have her.
