About Melissa

Experience: 3 yrs

I truly love nurturing children and watching them grow! With your approval, I'd love to bring my own child while caring for yours. My caregiving style is respectful, patient, and child-centered. I encourage independence, hands-on learning, and creativity every day. I value each child's unique interests and let them explore at their own pace, supporting their choices and problem-solving skills. I create a calm, empathetic space where children feel safe, heard, and validated, and I gently guide them as they express their feelings and build confidence. I enjoy crafts, outdoor adventures, and practical life activities that spark curiosity and self-reliance. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children, follow your household rules, and provide regular updates. I'm trained in First Aid, CPR, and Early Child Development, and can help with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel, and swimming supervision. I look forward to supporting your family!
