About Melissa
Experience: 9 yrs
Hi, my name is Melissa! I have 5 years of experience working in a daycare, including 2 years as a lead preschool teacher. Along with 9 years of private babysitting experience with children of all ages from infants to schoolage. I currently nanny for a wonderful family that i've been with for 2. 5 years now. I am an advocate for learning through play such as dramatic play, building, art + sensory exploration, music, and hands-on activities. My personal interests include being outdoors, yoga, and reading :)
Most recent review
Melissa has been incredible with both of our children. She’s wonderful at encouraging milestones for our almost 9-month-old and connects so naturally with our energetic 2.5-year-old, giving her space to explore while providing gentle guidance. Her calm, grounding presence and thoughtful redirection align perfectly with our parenting style. She is dependable, warm, and truly a joy to have with our family. We only wish we could have her around more!
