Many providers report they are First Aid and CPR certified to provide the best care for your family.

Q: What’s the difference between a nanny and a babysitter?

Nannies and babysitters share the same primary responsibility of providing safe and enriching care for your child, but there are a few differences between them. Nannies are more commonly associated with regular work, whether full or part-time, offering daily or consistent care to a particular family. There are also several different types of nannies, including au pairs, house managers, doulas, live-in, and overnight nannies. Babysitters, on the other hand, are typically hired for irregular or occasional work, either full or part-time. If you’re looking for last-minute care for date night, or the occasional few hours after school, a babysitter is a great best option. Identifying the type and frequency of child care you’ll need is the best way to decide whether a babysitter or nanny is a better fit for your family.

I’d love the opportunity to support your family as a nanny. I bring over 4 years of hands-on experience working in a school setting with children ranging from 2 months to 5 years old, including those with special needs. That background has taught me how to adapt quickly, communicate clearly, and create a nurturing environment tailored to each child’s unique personality and developmental stage. In addition to my school experience, I’ve spent the past year babysitting for families on the side, which has deepened my understanding of home routines and the importance of building trust with both children and parents. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m happy to provide references upon request.

My name is Melissa and my personal background comes from growing up to be the oldest out of 6 siblings. Not only was my house consisted of sibling rivalry but also secretly all of us not wanting to be apart. The women of my family started as working with children in owning a home day care, teaching early education in church. The only thing that seemed fitting and natural to me was to study, and work with children. I am a certified early education and development teacher which allows me to teach in a preschool setting. Working with children for 13 years as my career path I will be able to bring my experiences and strengths to any new children-families needing care. Working with children of all ages, handling multiple children at once(1-8), providing care for special needs children comes with a huge impact and rewarding. Not only am I making a difference with each child/children I provide care for, they make each moment a lifelong reward too.
