A little bit about me
Hi there! I’m MeLissa, a professional career nanny with over 30 years of experience caring for children from newborns through the teen years. I have extensive experience with infants, multiples, developmental delays, autism, ADHD, sensory needs, and medically complex children. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, hold a Level 1 Fingerprint Clearance Card, and have additional training in newborn care, Article 9, ASL, safe sleep, swim supervision, and child development.
I’m warm, dependable, organized, and very hands-on. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, loved, respected, and encouraged to be themselves. I enjoy creating age-appropriate activities, outings, routines, learning opportunities, and plenty of fun along the way.
I also have experience as a House Manager and Personal Assistant, so I’m comfortable helping a household run smoothly beyond childcare. I’m looking for a family who values communication, consistency, trust, and a long-term partnership.
