About Melissa

Fostering a child's growth and development is my greatest passion. With 20 years of experience as a teacher, foster parent, and advocate for students with disabilities, I bring a wealth of expertise to your family. I hold a graduate degree and maintain current First Aid Training and CPR Training. My approach is creative and active; I love leading outdoor sports, educational games, and puzzles to keep children engaged. I am comfortable caring for up to four children, ranging from infants to teenagers. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I prioritize clear communication, whether through daily verbal check-ins or your preferred digital method. I am very comfortable upholding your established household rules. Since I am a skilled swimmer, I look forward to providing safe, fun water supervision for your little ones. I truly cannot wait to meet your family and become a supportive part of your daily life.
