Hi! My name is Melissa and I am a mom of 3 (and 3 dogs). I have been babysitting since I have been in 5th grade and have experience with children from one day old to 18+ years old. I also have experience in taking care of twins and older adults. I am very energetic, playful and love taking children to enrichment activities like the zoo, aquarium, library and park. I love children, pets, and am very caring and responsible. The kids and parents have often joked around and called me Marry Poppins. I love to cook, have been in the medical field, and hold a current CPR certification. I am also a volunteer licensed Emergency Medical Technician. I am very dependable, am a non smoker, and have reliable transportation. I love playing sports, swimming, being outdoors, playing games, and arts and crafts. I can run errands, help organize, Read more and also prepare meals. I am full of energy with a positive personality and love working with children. I also have experience with children and adults with special needs. I can also help out with personal assistant duties such as managing home administrative items. For example, appointments, bill payment, travel planning, reservations, family calendar input, med/dental appointments, request for information, subscription renewals, requests for information, mail order shopping, typing, scanning, faxing, etc. Please let me know if you have any questions! Melissa

Melissa came into a fairly complex caregiving situation and handled herself, and my father-in-law, with aplomb. She was on time, she left the house in better shape than she found it, and my father-in-law lover her. I would highly recommend her as a caregiver.
