About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Career nanny and household manager, accomplished dyslexia/reading interventionist and former classroom teacher at your service! I've enjoyed working as a nanny and household manager for 19 years supporting busy families. I blend focus with laid-back energy to create calm, joyful environments where children thrive and parents feel supported. I'll listen to your family's needs to ensure a smoothly running home and use discovery-based play to nurture curiosity and emotional skills. My education background sparked a passion for child development and language acquisition. I taught school for two years specializing in dyslexia and worked with kids from 2nd-12th grade. Many of my students had diverse learning needs, disabilities, or autism, all requiring individualized approaches. Families value my professionalism and warmth. If you're seeking an experienced, loving nanny, I'd love to connect. I currently have a girl born in July 2025 and would like to add one child similar in age.
