Hi! My name is Melissa, and I’m a dependable, energetic, and caring babysitter with 5+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infants to pre teens. I'm currently a college student studying at Stony Brook University, and I have a passion for helping kids feel safe, supported, and engaged while their parents are away. For the past few years, I’ve had the joy of working with the same amazing family. It's been such a rewarding experience to watch their children grow, from infants to school aged kids and to help care for their newest additions to the family as well. Being a consistent and trusted part of a child’s life is something I truly value, and I aim to bring that same warmth and reliability to every family I support. Whether it’s creating fun and educational activities, preparing meals, helping with homework, handling bedtime/morning routines, or just Read more being a calm, friendly presence. I bring patience, responsibility, and genuine care to every family I work with. Families often describe me as reliable, patient, and quick to connect with children. I keep screen time very limited and instead focus on creative play, reading, crafts, outdoor time, and age appropriate learning activities that help children thrive. I'm also multilingual and happy to incorporate language learning into play, if desired. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, a non smoker, and have a clean driving record with my own reliable transportation. My schedule is flexible, I’m available for both long term support and occasional needs like date nights or weekends. I'm truly committed to supporting parents and becoming someone your kids genuinely enjoy spending time with. I’d love to learn more about your family’s needs and how I can help!
