This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 3 yrs
I'm a caring and experienced childcare provider with a passion for fostering children's growth and development. With three years of experience, I'm comfortable caring for children of all ages. My background includes a college degree, First Aid and CPR training, and experience working with special needs children. I believe in creating a safe, nurturing environment where children can learn and thrive. I'm creative and imaginative, and I love playing games with children that promote learning and development. I have a flexible approach to childcare and am happy to follow the parents' lead in terms of household rules and communication. I'm also happy to help with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I'm confident that I can provide your child with the care and attention they need. I look forward to getting to know you and your family and providing a nurturing environment for your child.

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!
