About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello, my name is Melissa. I have many years experience providing daycare for children. I have one son that is 30 years old. I have been babysitting since the age of 12. Growing up, I babysat for several neighborhood families. I have experience watching newborns to the teen years. I also have experience with children with Autism. While my son was growing up, I ran a daycare from my home. Once he was in school, I subbed for the local school systems. Now I have been working as a nanny for the past 10 years. I am CPR trained. I enjoy working with children and I am attentive to their wants and needs. Watching children is my passion and I look forward to meeting with you and your family. References available upon request.

Melissa has been such a blessing for our family! She cared for my 9-month-old (and often my niece too at the same time, who’s just a few months older) like they were her own. She’s reliable, always on time, and so flexible when our schedules changed. The babies adored her right away — she kept them safe, happy, and entertained while still following our parenting preferences. She made them breakfast and even helped with light housework during naps, which was such a huge help. She’s wonderful with pets too! I truly can’t say enough good things — we feel so lucky to have found her, and any family would be lucky to have her too.
