A little bit about me

I’ve been caring for children since the 1900s :) & four decades later, still adore every stage... newborns-teens. Caring for kids isn’t something I do on the side, it’s been my life’s work, and I bring that dedication into every home I support. I earned my degree in Elementary Education in 1996, then taught at the JCC in Maitland where I worked with the same infants through their toddler years. My co-teacher and I supported their development through sign language, early communication skills, potty training, sleep routines and structured play. I’m a very hands-on caregiver. I love engaging kids in activities that spark curiosity, movement and imagination. Walks outside, sports, crafts, reading time, sensory play and age-appropriate learning are all part of my day. Families trust me because I’m consistent, mature, dependable and fully present with their children. ~°~ My schedule is totally flexible... including newborn night care so mom and dad can rest.

"Mel is very kind and caring. She's a natural with our 4 month old son. He suffers from GERD and oral ties, and it's important that his meds and routines be adhered to, and that things are low stress. Mel helps our son feel at ease and she follows every instruction to the letter. She has an early childhood development background so she is always working with him on his milestones. She also gives him baby massages and sings to him which helps him to relax. She shows up on time and sends updates via text. She checks on him even on days she's not caring for him to keep up to date and because she truly loves my guy and cares about his wellbeing. As first time parents we were worried naturally about leaving our son, but Mel very quickly put our hearts and minds at ease. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and reliable caregiver."

"Melissa is amazing with children! She was always so helpful to me, especially when my (now ex-husband) went over seas and I had 4 kids on my own for a year. She is crafty, spontaneous, loving, supportive and I only wish she could have been the one to help me take care of my boys, but they were older at that time. She offered to help with almost any task I assigned to her and did so with a smile. She was SO appreciative of our family and beyond generous with her services. I would definitely recommend her!"
