About Melissa

I'm Missy, a goofy, hair dye loving, 45-year-old mom of 4 looking to babysit evenings and weekends. I've lived in Scottsdale for 22 years, operated a home daycare until April 2020, and currently nanny from my home weekdays. My background is psychology and child development and I keep a current Class 1 fingerprint card and current CPR/1st Aid certification. I'm comfortable working with children of all ages and with all levels of needs and development. My first professional experience with kids when I was 14 and offered a job in my town's home daycare. I knew home daycare was the path for me, so I opened my own 6 years before becoming a mom and had a wonderful 17 years in business until the pandemic. In my spare time, I like to read, sing loudly while cooking, hang with my own kids, and volunteer at one of their 3 schools.
