Hello my name is Melissa! I am a recent graduate from the University of Wyoming now living in the triangle area. I have been working with kids for over 8 years in multiple different settings. I have experience as a camp counselor, dance teacher, teachers aid as well as after school care. I have been a full time nanny for a 14 month old as well as a full time nanny for a family of three (2 yr old, 6 yr old, 8 yr old). I have also been a trusted babysitter for multiple varying families over many years. I am currently a part time office coordinator for a medical clinic but am in the process of working towards being in the pediatric health field! I am happy to cook and clean up as well as help with nap time or simple school work. My go-to activities are playing games, Read more drawing, going on walks and bringing out both the creative and active sides of a child! I love kids of all ages and feel very comfortable being able to keep them entertained, feel safe and have fun!
