A little bit about me

Hello I am Melissa! I’m a college student at NEIU and I’m a certified care taker for the elderly for the company help at home. I recently want to look for a more flexible job for me and being a nanny is perfect! I’m eager to meet families needs of any kind and make your child’s day a positive experience. I love animals a lot so if you have pets know that you are in good hands. During my free time I really enjoy volunteering at animal shelters and medical centers (PAWS Chicago!) not only that but in the future I plan on becoming a veterinarian due to my well spent time in college. I’m also a musician that plays 8 instruments. I’m in my college orchestra wind ensemble. So if your child is interested in music, we will really get along well!
