Hi my name is Melissa,

My background, I have been caring for children on my own since i was 12. Throughout the years of babysitting i have cared for children from infancy to the teenage years, multiples at a time. triplets are always fun! To me children are the most amazing adventure that life can offer you. Each one so unique in their own way! I am a mom of two and can’t get enough of it! The way they learn and get excited over the smallest things are just amazing!

My goal while babysitting/being a nanny is to have the children and parents feel comfortable , happy and safe. Our children are our most precious gifts and leaving them in the hands of strangers is very scary! believe me i can totally relate! so throughout the day i will send pictures and videos of your precious babies so that you will constantly be updated and feel at ease while at work.  I am more of a lets be active and creative caregiver than a sit in front of a TV and electronics caregiver. I am a huge fan of arts and crafts, definitely one of those pinterest moms! I found when i taught preschool children that sneaking in learning while playing is the best way to go. Adventure outside to the playground or maybe even a walk. However on those yucky rainy days maybe for some down time and snacks we will watch a movie but for the most part it will be arts and crafts, also some baking is always fun!  I don’t know about everyone else but i am a huge fan on routines i find that the day goes a lot smoother. My house is always baby proofed!

i am experienced with potty training, special needs (odd,add,adhd, sensory, learning delay,developmental delay) teething, acid reflux, homework help, swimming supervision, meal preparation, and more. I did do a hospital cpr session when i had my children. Also my Significant other has been in the fire department for the last 9 years so we have been to many many fire prevention’s and EMT events!

I do have a bunch of references if needed! feel free to ask.

I do have a vehicle with valid drivers license as well as clean driving record
