About Melissa
Experience: 11 yrs
As a dedicated and experienced caregiver with over a decade of childcare experience, I take pride in helping children grow and develop in a nurturing environment. My passion for fostering their intellectual, emotional, and physical well-being stems from my own positive experiences as a babysitter and my desire to support families in need of reliable care. My approach to childcare is rooted in patience, creativity, and a friendly demeanor, allowing me to connect easily with children of all ages. I believe in open and consistent communication with parents, and I follow their preferred methods to ensure they are well-informed about their child's day and any issues that arise. When it comes to enforcing household rules, I am confident and consistent in my approach, ensuring a safe and structured environment for the children in my care.
Most recent review
Melissa is a GREAT babysitter! My two girls (ages 4 and 6) absolutely love her! They are so excited to hear that Mel is coming that they watch out the window for her to arrive. Mel is patient, kind, and an overall fun time for my children. She often has activities planned to do with them, and I frequently come home to many crafts and stories of the adventures they got into while I was away. She is great at communicating with me as a parent and is easy to talk to about scheduling. I have recommended her to a few of my friends even! "I love Mel 100 times!" -direct quote from my 6 year old.
