Hi! I am Melissa and I have been a nanny for 5 years. I have a very special 6 year old son. I take pride in making child care stress free and comfortable. I am available for babysitting on week nights and on weekends. My listed availability is when I am available to work without bringing my own child with me. If there are times you need outside of that and don't mind my own child coming along, message me and we will see if I am available during that times. I am happy to provide recurrent, intermittent, or one time babysitting. Before I was a nanny, I worked as a certified nursing assistant for 7 years and attended 3 years of nursing school. I am first aid certified. I come from a smoke free home. I have a cat and a dog and am very comfortable taking care of Read more other pets. I am certified to provide respite care for children with special needs through the South Carolina Respite Coalition. I have a current background check, fingerprint clearance, and DSS child abuse clearance check. I have experience working in a facility for children and adults with disabilities and also in client's homes. I am passionate about caring for babies and children. I love watching them grow and reach developmental milestones and knowing that their needs are being exceptionally met, letting you have peace of mind when you can't be with them. I know how hard it is to be apart from your child so I take pride in knowing I am providing an excellent environment for your child. I love getting kids involved in learning and exploring with things like cooking, playdates, and adventures in the outdoors. I love being active with the families I work for and enjoy taking the kids out to the playground, splash pad, library, and other fun events around town. If your child has a class (like gymnastics) I can take them to class. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. References are available upon request. I look forward to working with you! Thanks!
