Hi there - thanks for visiting my profile! Let me introduce myself: My name is Melissa, I am 33 years old, and I currently live in Providence. I received my Masters of Science in Nutrition in 2020 and have been working primarily as a nanny since; my next goal is to apply for a PhD program. Some of my hobbies include dancing, reading, gardening, and arts & crafts. I have over 10 years experience tutoring; I graduated at the top of my high school class and have both my BA and MS. I also am a musician and dancer. I have over 20 years of experience working with children of all ages, including infants. I have helped children and their parents reach milestones in standing, walking, talking, potty training, reading and writing, and more. I have experience with driving kids and going to activities with them, such as to the Read more library, the park/beach/playground, the museum, and even to take a baby swim class together. I am passionate about creating learning opportunities through fun. I can't wait to find out if I am a good fit to work with your family. I hope to hear from you soon! *clean driving record.
