About Melissa

Experience: 16 yrs

As a nurturing caregiver with 16 years of experience, I find great joy in fostering children's growth and development. My passion for childcare stems from my positive experiences in previous babysitting roles and my innate desire to make a lasting impact on young lives. I believe that patience, creativity, and a friendly approach are essential qualities for a caregiver, and I strive to embody these traits in my interactions with children. I am also very comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure a safe and structured environment. To keep parents informed about their child's well-being, I provide written daily reports, verbal communication during pickup, and regular updates via text or phone calls. I am comfortable caring for up to three children of various age groups, from infants to preteens. My education includes some college coursework, and I have completed valuable training programs such as First Aid Training, CPR Training, and coursework in Early Child Development.

Melissa was outstanding. Due to moving, we only had the opportunity of knowing her for 2 years. She gave my children stability, growth and nurturing while I was away working.
