About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
My name is Melissa and I recently worked as Director of Education at a nature center where I taught and managed informal environmental science programs for children and adults. I have a Bachelor's degree and Masters degree in Marine Biology. I love children and have always enjoyed working with them. In the past, I have been employed as a live-in nanny, after school counselor, lifeguard, camp counselor, and environmental educator. I have experience caring for children ranging from infants to teens. I am CPR, First Aid and Wilderness First Responder certified. I have a 6-week-old little girl, and I'm looking for a little extra income to help with my student loans. Please let me know if you have any other questions. I look forward to potentially meeting you and your family.

Melissa is incredible. She is super friendly, very outgoing with children, and entirely trustworthy. I took my 2.5 y/o over for 5 hours, and he had a blast. Her house is lovely and well suited to entertaining kids. Highly recommend.
