About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

I've dedicated the last 15 years of my life to nurturing and caring for children. My passion for fostering their growth and development, coupled with my desire to make a positive impact on their lives, led me to become a caregiver. I believe in supporting families and providing them with a reliable childcare option. I'm known for my calm and patient demeanor, which helps me connect with children and build a trusting relationship. I prioritize open communication with parents, using their preferred method to discuss their child's day and address any concerns. When it comes to household rules, I follow the parents' lead to ensure consistency for the child. My approach to playtime is diverse, ranging from outdoor sports and physical games to board games and puzzles. I also incorporate educational games that stimulate learning and curiosity. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children and have experience with various age groups, from infants to preteens.
