About Melissa

As a dedicated childcare provider with over 26 years of experience, I'm passionate about nurturing children's growth and development. My patient and friendly nature creates a warm, supportive environment where children can thrive. I believe in open communication with parents, providing regular updates and written daily reports to ensure a collaborative partnership in caring for their child. I'm comfortable following the household rules set by the parents and am skilled at enforcing them in a positive manner. My creative side shines through various games and activities, from outdoor sports to educational games that promote learning. I'm also happy to assist with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. With my First Aid and CPR training, I prioritize the safety and well-being of the children in my care. I speak English and Spanish fluently. I am a licensed NYS EMT/Firefighter and have been a dedicated social worker for the past 26 years. Willing to provide care.
