About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am a certified teacher. I recently retired. My degrees are in Education and Special Education. Over my career I have worked with children who were toddlers until college age. I am kind, caring, patient, animated, and always developed a great rapport with children. I am a visual artist too and can work with your child with arts & crafts. My specialty is reading and I successfully taught children as young as 3 years old to read. I also teach kindergarten preparatory skills - like math, reading, how to print letters, etc. I have a current background check, CPR and fabulous references from parents whose children I work with from this site. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I can babysit

Melissa was phenomenal nanny with my two daughters.she cared for my children when they were six months old until they turned two years old . Melissa weaned my children from milk to regular food .she is an excellent cook and prepared and fed them only healthy meals .my children hit their milestones early mostly due Melissa's advanced university degrees in child development.my daughters were advanced with their speech & language acquisition,fine and gross motor skills.she taught them through multi sensory activities.my daughters first words were happy and love Melissa was excellent at potty training my eldest daughter.i highly recommended Melissa as a nanny since she made such a fabulous impact on my daughters when they were very young.my daughters are so successful in first and second grade because of Melissa .our family would give her 100 stars instead 5 stars
