Hi there! I'm Melissa, I just moved to New York from Boston. I'm originally from Merrick, Long Island but I moved to Boston to attend school at Northeastern University. I'm a yoga and Pilates instructor but since I just moved to a new city I'm taking time to fill my schedule, find the right places, and build a private clientele. I even gained some experience with children's yoga while I was in Boston! I've been babysitting since I was 14 years old, both full time a few college summers and part time for a family in Boston since then (5 years). I have a niece and nephew (2 and 3) that I watch on Long Island sometimes and I'm great with kids of all ages. I'm medically trained and have worked in cardiac rehab as well. I'm very creative and active with kids and I love to develop a bond Read more with both the kids and parents that I work for. Please message me if you think I'm the right fit for your family!
