A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Melissa, and while I don’t have formal nanny experience, I bring years of hands-on, real-life childcare as a devoted mom to two amazing boys—an energetic 8-year-old and a loving 14-year-old with autism.

Through parenting, I’ve developed deep patience, strong multitasking skills, and a compassionate approach to caregiving. I understand the importance of structure, safety, and emotional support, especially when working with children who have unique needs.

I’m dependable, calm under pressure, and genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, play, and grow. I’m currently looking to support another family with my experience and care, and I’d love to be part of a home that values trust, kindness, and clear communication.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Ella. I’m a high school student who loves kids, being outside, animals, cooking, baking, crafts, sports, adventures, etc. I have over 5 years of paid experience with up to 6 kids at a time. I am comfortable with kids 6 weeks to 9 years but am willing to make exceptions based on the child. I especially love babies and toddlers because they are constantly learning new things and changing. I love spending time with older kids because I think it’s so amazing to see them grow into their personalities and become little humans! I love teaching and am very patient with school work, potty training, etc. I’d love a summer position and/or occasional night time position.
