About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

My specialty is newborn thru preschool and twins. Sleep training, weaning, introducing solids, and potty training. I am a playmate and mentor as well as a source of love and nurturing. I do insist upon good respectful behavior and being mindful of ourselves and the world around us. Especially when out in public. It's how we stay safe. I am looking for families that want to have an open and direct dialogue around the care and development of there little ones. I come to the table with a true caring of children and assisting them in becoming their best. I observe their play and interactions with siblings, peers and even interactions with adults showing them how to navigate the world socially. I come with excellent references, a reliable vehicle, and an upbeat personality. I am great with pets, love the outdoors, exploring, and "field" trips!

Violet worked for us for over 2 years. She was incredibly dependable, punctual, and flexible- we often asked her to stay late or cover extra days and she worked hard to help us do so. She cares very much about her job as your child's teacher and it shows in the thought she puts into activities with "her" kids and the attention she pays to their development.
