Childcare is not a job but a calling. It is the most unique opportunity to impact the lives of the children one cares for and also the families one serves. After six years of experience working in many different settings I have found that caring for children brings me the greatest fulfillment . I am often asked why I love working as a nanny? My answer is that there is nothing that compares to the simple everyday moments watching children exemplify pure joy, that twinkle that you can see in their eyes as they chase bubbles, or learn a new trick. It always amazes me. Before moving to Denver I had the privilege of caring for a family with two sweet little boys. I am a trained and certified as a nursing assistant. I spent two years working at Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville, Tennessee which was one of the Read more greatest experiences of my career. My first paid job was as a Respite Caregiver working with Special needs children for several years.

We hired Melissa as a date night sitter and were so pleased with her. Our 14 month-old son, who had only been left with a non-family member once before absolutely loved her! She was down on the floor playing and reading with him before we even left. I will definitely book Melissa again for our next date night!
