About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Well hi! I discovered my passion for childcare 12 years ago. Since then, I have been a sitter, nanny and pre-school teacher. The most rewarding part of my profession is building lasting relationships with families and putting smiles on the faces of your children, and inducing bursts of wholehearted, unabashed giggles also! (One of my favorite sounds) I draw from Montessori methods in childcare, matching natural interests and individuality with hands-on learning and creative decision making. I enjoy sports, outdoors, arts & crafts, music, inspiring kids to be kind, curious and compassionate. Experience with littles 4mo-11yo. Enthusiastic and energetic, I also have a calm, loving demeanor -not easily frazzled. Continuous education goes hand-in-hand with experience, and I stay up to date with trainings, classes and literature. Request me for evenings out, last minute, as needed, onsite for Ojai weddings or extra help while working from home.

Melissa is absolutely incredible. She is so incredibly loving - every time I would peak into the room she was engaging my 6 month old daughter, playing with her, reading to her, singing to her.
