Hi, my name is Melissa. I have always loved kids so naturally I started babysitting with a friend when I was 12 years old. I now have about 15 years of childcare experience. I started nannying for the first family I ever babysat for who had 8 year old twins and a 10 year old at the time right after high school. I was with them for about 6 years all through college until the oldest started driving and my school schedule would no longer allow it. She has said I was the most reliable nanny she ever had. Since then I've had a family member refer a friend of hers to me who needed some help with childcare and that has led to more and more referrals including my current regular nanny job. In my 15 years I've just about done it all, from newborns to 15-year-olds watching up Read more to 7 kids at a time. I have helped with transportation, dishes, laundry, light cooking and cleaning. I would love to get to know you and your family. I'm looking for more fill-in, part-time or occasional ask-as-needed work. I am working towards building a business as a Certified Health Coach so I can also help your family eat healthier if desired. I am also ServSafe certified so I can assure you I will serve your child's food safely. I love being a nanny and babysitter because I love working with kids. They bring so much joy and wonder to everything. I find this job to be very rewarding. I believe my patience makes me a great nanny/babysitter. I also have a fun silly side to my personality that kids love. Through my experience I have also learned to be creative and resourceful in situations as needed. I know it takes a lot of trust in someone to leave your children in their care. I would love to get to know you and your family and I hope you find the right fit for your unique needs. :)
