Hi there! My name is Melissa Roper, and I have several years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages—from infants to school-aged kids. I’m passionate about providing a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children can grow, learn, and feel supported. I hold an associate degree in general studies and have dedicated my career to childcare. Through my experience, I’ve become confident in managing daily routines, encouraging positive behavior, and creating engaging activities that support development. I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m comfortable with bottle feeding, baby feeding, and light food prep for kids. I’m also happy to help with light housekeeping and maintaining a clean, child-friendly space. Whether your family needs help with daily care or occasional support, I’m committed to being dependable and attentive to your child’s needs.
