About Melissa

Experience: 11 yrs

I'm a creative and friendly caregiver with over a decade of experience providing a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children. My passion for children's growth and development, combined with my desire to make a positive impact on their lives, led me to this rewarding career. I have a college degree, First Aid Training, and CPR Training, and am experienced in early childhood education and working with special needs children. I believe in open and honest communication with parents and provide verbal updates at pickup about their child's day and any issues that arise. I'm somewhat comfortable enforcing household rules, ensuring a safe and consistent environment for the children in my care. My fun-loving nature shines through when I engage children in outdoor sports, physical games, board games, puzzles, and educational games that promote learning.

Melissa is affectionate and loving, firm but gentle, capable and professional but also fun and funny! She gives kids the boundaries they need to feel safe and simultaneously empowers them to explore. She is an endless source of stimulating activities but also very adaptable to parents' preferences in any matter. She is a natural educator as well: both my three-year old and the other child in her care (only 6 mos older) are starting to decode words and can do basic arithmetic...! I wouldn't have thought to even try. I've learned a lot from Melissa myself as well-- everything from toddler cuisine to discipline strategies -- and she truly is a "professional parent." Her next family will be lucky to have her!
