I am a hard working and energetic 32-year-old with tons of experience caring for children. Including children with special needs. I have worked in a pediatric hospital and nannied for families while I was in my child development classes for college. I have worked with 4 families in the last 3 yrs with a mix of ages 3 months to 13 years old with live-in experience. I also have four rambunctious siblings I cared for often. I quit private flight attending to come back to nanning and start training as a voiceover actor. I have worked for the perfect family for a little over a year now, but unfortunately the time has come to part ways. The kids are going to be going back to school, and a live-in nanny just no longer makes sense. My favorite part of being a nanny is getting to be a part of those huge milestones in their development, and pushing kids to see their true capabilities by empowering them to feel like they are capable of so much more than they feel they are.

Melissa was great. She came through for our family when we were in a bind. Our need for child care was unique and at an awkward time (before school one morning) and Melissa showed up early and ready to go. She was great with my five year old son. I appreciated her last minute flexibility, good attitude, and overall willingness to help out.
