About Melissa

I am a college educated, 45-year-old female with over 20 years of child care experience. I offer loving care to children while providing educational activities for all ages; working on fine and gross motor skills as well as cognitive skills. I am a creative and fun nanny who incorporates a variety of projects and adventures to stimulate both social and educational development. My top priorities, while caring for children, are to keep the child safe at all times, to build their self-esteem and sense of security, to instill a desire to learn, and of course, to guarantee the child has lots of fun! I have excellent references from families that I have worked with long-term. I have been with my current family for 13 yrs. I have an extensive volunteer resume, working with orphaned children in Africa, Mexico, and Guatemala. My educational background is in professional photography & digital editing. I specialize in newborn photography, as well as photojournalism. I am allergic to dogs and cats
