About Melissa

I'm a dedicated childcare provider with 5 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I am a local children's jiu jitsu/self defense coach, nanny, and have a history as a swim instructor for kids of all ages! I'm adaptable, imaginative, friendly, compassionate, and passionate about encouraging kids to be authentic and expressive. I believe in open communication with parents and follow their preferred communication method to ensure their children's needs are met. I have no problem enforcing household rules and ensuring children's safety and well-being. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, including outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games that promote learning. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children at a time and have experience with children of all ages, from infants to preteens. I have a college degree and am CPR and First Aid certified.
