About Melissa

Experience: 5 yrs

Hello, my name is Melissa. I have been working with children for seven years. I started as a counselor in a summer camp with children ages 4-12. At the same time I was working as a swimming instructor at a local swim school. Ever since Highschool I was passionate about childcare. I obtained my CDA (in preschool/pre-k) shortly after Highschool and continued my studies at a local college earning my early childhood associates degree. Currently I work at a daycare where I have been an infant (6 weeks-1 year) lead teacher for two years. I am very knowledgeable in infant schedules, feedings, sleeping, activity's, and having more than one child in my care. Parents of the children in my care often compliment my communication skills. I also continue to babysit for most of the babies outside of school hours. Three words that describe my personality are kind, caring and loving. I can't wait to connect!

Melissa has been an integral part of our family’s journey since our oldest daughter was just a few months old. She was an unbelievable source of support as we navigated the transition to having two children under the age of two. Melissa is naturally loving, caring, and creative, but what truly sets her apart is her energy—she is always smiling and ready to jump right in, whether that means rolling on the floor with the kids, singing, painting, or engaging deeply with their favorite toys. She is a true pleasure to work with, and any family would be incredibly lucky to have her in their home.
