About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

My exp. w/children spans 3+ decades & multiple different scenarios. At times I've been Director/ Teacher/ Principal/Governess/Nanny & more. My work ethic is well above average. My integrity, creativity & determination are my best personality traits. I'm bilingual & have decades of exp. teaching elem./Mid. School Sciences, Spanish & many different types of arts/crafts including sewing. I'm willing to meet and interview and discuss more. I also have a perfect driving record & lots of exp. shuttling kids to activities/games/Grandma's house etc. I challenge you to get to know me & you'll rapidly discover I'm worth my fee. I can also provide several excellent references and easily pass any background check! Could say more but I'm limited to 855 characters here... just ask.. I am flexible & love trying /conquering new things!!

Missy was absolutely amazing! She was very proactive, taking my toddler for walks and to the park. She folded our laundry and cleaned up while my kiddo slept. She sent tons of pictures and updates. I would hire her again in a heartbeat :)
