A little bit about me...

I'm a veteran child care teacher with two of my own children. Over 10 years experience as a teacher. Worked as a nanny for several short and long term positions. My own children have special needs, and I have a plethora of experience in other special care needs and disorders. I have a big heart and a calm voice. I am known at work at my childcare as the toddler whisperer. I absolutely love working with that age group. I adore working with older kids as well, I'll play board games or hide and seek or (if it's okay with parents) go to the park and actively play with the kids. Give me a text if you're looking for a nanny/sitter in the Spokane/Valley area.

"Melissa and I worked together in a childcare center. I was the director and she was primailrily the toddler teacher Melissa was always a reliable employee. She was willing to stay late or come in early whenever she was needed, always someone you could count on. Melissa was a phenomenal teacher with all grade levels. I could put her in any room from toddlers to school age and know that she was able to handle it. Melissa is definitely someone I would allow to watch to watch my children at any time."

"She engaged my 4 children during her time with them. They would play, make crafts, bake. She didn’t sit them in front of the tv. The kids were so excited to share all of their adventures with me from the day. She would keep me updated and send photos of their outings."

"Melissa did in home childcare for my two children while my daughter was an infant and my son was a toddler. She did weekly visits to my house so I could take my son out for one on one time and did occasional date nights for my husband and I watching both kids. She was very communicative about scheduling and was flexible when we needed to pivot based on the kids’ schedules. She was fantastic with both kids and was prepared with learning materials and books for both of them. I was always at ease knowing they were well cared for and loved while I was gone. As an added bonus, my home was always cleaner when I got home than when I left it. I would recommend Melissa to anyone in search of high quality childcare."

More About Me

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

I have worked st over 10 childcares since I was a 17 year old high schooler! I always babysat my younger cousins and eventually became a nanny for them when my aunt was a single mom and full time student and worker. After high school, I worked at several centers in North Spokane and the Valley. I have spent over 4 non-consectutive years at a cozy little center in the Valley that is such a loving environment. I strive to bring that energy to all my work with children.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Crafts, Science experiments, board games, sensory like rice or slime or sand or playdough, active games like red light green light and hide and seek. Any outdoor activities (in a fenced area with under 5s because I'm a nervous Nancy lol). I love learning and teaching and singing songs. I am a teacher through and through.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Building trust between me and the parents and me and the children. Children don't listen to someone they don't trust because they want to trust someone who has their best interests at heart. That has to be earned. Parents need to trust that a safe person will be caring for their children.

My experience with special needs children...

My own children have deafness, cochlear implants, adhd, and sensory processing disorder. I am conversational in ASL sign language. I also have experience with autism, hearing aids, life threatening allergies, seizures, low miscle tone, fetal alcohol syndrome, global development delays, intellectual disorders ("metal retardation", I hate that phrase), speech delays, extended diapering, feeding tubes (but I'd need a brush up), spina bifita, cerebal palsy, down syndrome, ushers syndrome, dwarfism, feeding disorders and thickener.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Taking the kids to Cat Tales and them seeing tigers for the first time!
