About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
As a mom myself, I am aware of how difficult it may be to leave your little ones with someone new. I promise to love and care for them as I would my own. I am a certified elementary education teacher and mom of three girls (18, 21 and 25) and a 7-month-old baby girl. I have 12 years of paid experience, but invaluable experience and intuition only a mom can provide. In college I worked at a daycare with ages ranging from birth to age 12. I then had the pleasure of staying home with my children and substitute teaching at their elementary and intermediate school. Most recently I have been a nanny for a family for three years with children newborn to 4 years old. I enjoy engaging children in crafts, physical activity or snuggling up to a good book. I have prior CPR and First Aid certifications. Lastly, I am happy to help with light housekeeping, meal prep, errands or any other household needs. I look forward to meeting you and your kiddo(s)!
Most recent review
Missy was with us for over 3 years and was truly a blessing to our family during her time with us. Her experience and confidence in childcare made me as an anxious mama feel calm and secure leaving my precious babies with her. She took our son on multiple outings to music class, story time, and day trips in the area, as well as helped with laundry and meal prep. When our daughter was born 3 years later she assisted with newborn care as well as helped our eldest through the transition. I would recommend her to anyone looking for childcare!
