About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
I am available for recurring jobs or one time sittings. I am active and involved when caring for children. I keep up with high energy kids. I strive to create a safe but fun environment while keeping your child on schedule. I have over 10 years of experience from being a nanny to a caregiver for special needs children with behavioral issues and developmental delays. I am capable with wheelchairs and mobility assistance, toileting and diapers, feeding and meal prep, feeding tubes, medication management, as well as bathing and dressing. My joy is engaging them in play and building a rapport. I enjoy playing sports with children and exploring nature with them. Im a gamer so if your child enjoys video games I can relate. I'm also an avid reader. I greatly enjoy reading to children and encouraging their natural love of learning.

Melissa is the best!!! She is so kind hearted, genuinely cares and has a kid sense of humor. Super versatile and is smooth through the chaos that can come with 3 littles. She is smart and fun. She always says yes to playing baseball with my 3 boys plus the neighborhood kids. No matter how long they ask or how cold it is. She comes while I work and is awesome with helping as needed. Always shows up. On time every time. Keeps in good contact While in care of the children. Helps with bus time (on/off). Lunches/snacks. My kids specifically ask for her. She even doesn’t mind my clingy dogs & other pets. The real deal!! Thanks for always jumping in with a big smile!! So happy we found you!!
