About Melissa

Experience: 8 yrs

Hi families! I'm a career nanny with 8 years of childcare experience, and caring for little ones is truly something I love! I've worked with children from newborn through age 5, including extensive infant and toddler experience, and I've also worked as a preschool assistant teacher. I'm the kind of nanny who takes initiative, keeps little ones engaged with fun, age-appropriate activities, and pays attention to the little details that make a family feel supported. Whether we're enjoying outdoor adventures, reading books, exploring new activities, or working on developmental milestones, I love making each day fun, meaningful, and full of opportunities to learn and grow! I'm organized, trustworthy, CPR/First Aid certified, and happy to help with child-related household tasks to make your day a little easier. I also have a bachelor's degree and references available! I'm hoping to find a wonderful family looking for a reliable, loving nanny for a long-term position.

Melissa is a fantastic caregiver and we have felt so lucky to have her care for our 2-year old full time for over a year. She is warm, thoughtful and attentive. She plans fun outings and enrichment activities that are developmentally appropriate. Our daughter loves books because of how much time Melissa has spent reading to her. Melissa takes feedback well and is a natural with kids and her calm, gentle energy is a match against any meltdown. We can’t recommend Melissa enough.
