Hello! My name is Melissa - I live on the Upper West Side and LOVE it! I'm 30 and have been working with children for almost 20 years (4 mo - teens). I am very energetic, playful, caring, and responsible. I graduated from Drew University in New Jersey with a BA in Behavioral Science (concentration in Psychology, Sociology, and Anthropology).

Below is my experience with children: Camp Counselor (6 summers): 4-6 year old girls Babysitter (18 years): infants - teenagers Special needs caregiver (20+ years): including Autism, OCD, ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome Live-out nanny (1 summer): 4 and 7 year olds Resident Assistant (2 years): I was responsible for the health and well being of 50+ college students per year Dance assistant teacher (4 years): 4-10 year olds Party planner/entertainer (3 years): Read more many ages I'd love to work with you and your children! Please email me through SitterCity if you are interested in working with me. Thanks! Melissa
