About Melissa

Recently relocated to the finger lakes. I have more than 20 of years of professional nanny experience and excellent verifiable references. Much of my career was spent in NYC and Connecticut. Knowledge of RIE and Waldorf based learning. I prefer child led days where there is plenty of time for magic and fun with clear and consistent boundaries. I am happy to prepare simple vegetarian meals and snacks for your children or family and do light housekeeping if time allows. I work best in a household that values natural cleaning products and is eco-friendly and primarily chemical free. I love spending time outside and prefer to walk as much as possible. (Though I'm a confident and careful driver if necessary) I am currently living in Penn Yan and am looking for part time or occasional positions only. I'm willing to travel up to 30 minutes for a great fit and a minimum of 4 hours. I look forward to hearing from you!
