I bring a wealth of experience and dedication to childcare, making me a reliable and nurturing nanny/ babysitter for your family. My journey in childcare began over 20 years ago, where I discovered my passion for working with children. Beyond nannying since I was 15, I have been a teacher for the past 10 years. I have taught kindergarten, first grade, and third grade. With my years of experience, I am able to provide a safe and supportive environment while also promoting educational and developmental activities tailored to each child's needs. This past year I became a family administrative assistant/ nanny for a private household (1 and 3 years old). I take pride in building strong and trusting relationships with both children and parents, emphasizing clear communication, reliability, and a nurturing approach. Whether it's engaging in creative play, organizing educational activities, or simply providing attentive care, I am committed to Read more fostering a positive and enriching experience for your children. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my skills and passion for childcare to your family, and I look forward to creating lasting memories together.

Melissa had a lot of personality, and my kids enjoyed meeting her. Although we did not ultimately hire her, I would highly recommend Melissa for nannying or babysitting. She was great!
