About Melissa

Experience: 14 yrs

**I am currently taking a break from childcare because I just had my 2nd child. Unless you are okay with me bringing baby along, since I am still breastfeeding. Thank you! I am a very passionate, energetic, loving and responsible childcare provider, Doula, softball Coach, and now Mom. I absolutely love what I do and I am a big believer in helping children learn through play, arts and crafts, music, and reading. I do my best to help children develop their self confidence so that they may learn and grow to their fullest potential. I have an Associates degree in (ECE) Early Childhood Education and in Liberal Arts, I am a trained Birth Doula, and I am the head JV Softball Coach at SHHS. Therefore, my life revolves around helping children and families and I couldn't imagine it any other way! If I sound like a good fit for you and your family, please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to speaking with you! Thank you and God bless :)

I hired Melissa for a day so that we could get some adult time in during our Palm Springs getaway. Melissa responded quickly to all of my messages and showed up on time with a nanny bag full of toys and activities to make sure my daughter would be entertained. I didn't know how many hours I'd need her for but she was very flexible as long as I gave her a heads up that I'd want her to stay longer. After an entire day of playing with my daughter, she fed her dinner and even got her ready for bed. At the end of the night, I didn't have to do anything but to say goodnight. I would definitely hire Melissa again!
