Part-Time Nanny Available in Waveland, MS: Melissa J.

$15/hr

A little bit about me

I have served as a public school educator/counselor for 32 years (mostly high school and middle school). I have a masters degree in psychology. I have two daughters, both are in college. I retired, but have returned to work in a school setting where I have some flexibility in my current job. I am off during the summer so I am available and flexible. I am also looking for a part time opportunity that would allow me to continue working in a job I love, but will allow me to provide a meaningful service to a busy family. I would be interested in before school and after school care for school age children. I could arrive early to assist with the morning routine and then get children to school. In the afternoons I would be available to pick children up from school, and at the end of the school day I could help with after school activities. I will be able to help with homework, meal prep and anything agreed upon that will be of assistance.

Leslie

"From the very first day, Melissa was all in. She brought a fresh outlook to our school and was essential to our positive climate. She has basically run all of our activities for 19 years. She was also the glue that held us all together. When things are difficult, Melissa is steady and sees the light at the end of the tunnel. She is also extremely creative and talented. She is the person who can dream up the most outlandish plan and then successfully pull it off. When she left our school, it took 4 people to fill her shoes. I can recommend her highly enough."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

In addition to serving as a counselor and teacher, I am a mother. I have adore kids of all ages and I believe this service will help busy parents connect with their children in meaningful ways.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy art, reading, nature and animals. I like sports, dancing and cooking. I have sponsored many clubs including scouts and Civitans (special needs inclusion). I like to play games, and I like music of all genres. Although my experience has been with older students, I enjoy being with children of all ages.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe that proving a consistent, nurturing environment to children is invaluable. Establishing a routine that kids can rely upon and parents trust of utmost importance. As a mother, I would want my children to feel safe, comfortable and cherished. I believe open lines of communication with the parents is essential.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with special needs children and their families within a school setting. I have also served as a unit leader in a camp for children with disabilities during the summer for many years.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Being a mother has been the most rewarding experience, but I have been blessed to be an educator for 32 years. I like kids of all ages. I have not had the opportunity to serve as a nanny because I have been a full time educator for 32 years, but I have had the honor of being involved with children through work, teaching Sunday School, Girl Scouts, sponsoring organizations such as Junior Civitans and honor societies.
