About Melissa

Experience: 7 yrs

I'm a caring, experienced caregiver with over seven years of hands-on parenting and community support experience. I've raised my own child, organized and led a local homeschool playgroup that met weekly for more than a year, and planned family-friendly field trips and events. I also founded and supported local moms' groups, helping families connect with resources, social support, clothing exchanges, and child-centered activities. As the oldest of five, I grew up helping care for younger siblings, and I've supported many friends and their children over the years, including babies, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I'm calm, patient, responsible, and passionate about creating safe, nurturing, developmentally supportive environments where children can feel seen, heard, and encouraged.

Melissa is a thoughtful and present caregiver. She watched my son after preschool and even impressed the preschool teachers with her gentleness and presence. I trusted her 100% with the care of my son (he was 4 years old at the time.)
