This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
With 17 years as a nanny and four years as a dyslexia and reading interventionist, I am passionate about fostering emotional well-being and language development in children. My experience spans working with newborns, multiples, and kids of all ages, including those with autism and various learning and developmental differences, allowing me to offer personalized and compassionate support at every stage of growth. I create nurturing, engaging environments tailored to each child's needs, focusing on emotional well-being and building strong, trusting relationships with families. My background in education has enhanced my understanding of diverse learning styles and the need for tailored strategies, enabling me to develop effective techniques that help children build confidence and reach their full potential. At this time, I'm available for part time, short term or as-needed care.

Melissa is one of the most caring, knowledgeable, and competent caregivers we have encountered in our search for childcare. With her extensive experience, advanced education in literacy and children's education, and her kind and reassuring demeanor, our boys truly thrived under her care. Their language and cognitive skills blossomed during the time they spent with her. My husband and I highly recommend Melissa as a skilled and compassionate caregiver for your loved ones.
