About Melissa

Experience: 3 yrs

Hi families! My name is Melissa, and I'm a dedicated and caring childcare with 3 years of experience working with children from infancy through the teenage years. As a psychologist from Colombia, I have a strong understanding of child development, emotional well being, and the importance of creating a safe, supportive, and positive environment for every child. I'm patient, responsible, creative, and attentive to each child's individual needs and personality. I enjoy planning age appropriate activities, encouraging learning and independence, and creating a fun environment where children feel comfortable and cared for. I also have training in Early Child Development, CPR, and First Aid. My goal is to provide families with dependable, thoughtful care while building a trusting relationship with both parents and children. I would love the opportunity to meet your family and learn how I can best support your childcare needs!

Melissa has been absolutely wonderful with my 10month old baby! She is caring, patient, attentive and very understanding of his individual needs and personality. I especially appreciate how comfortable she is with baby led weaning (BLW) and how she encourages my baby to explore different foods safely while still paying close attention to his cues and needs. She is also familiar with baby sign language and uses simple signs to help communicate with him, which I really love because it gives him another way to express what he wants and needs. She is always engaged with him, talks to him, plays with him and encourages his development instead of simply watching him. I feel comfortable knowing that my baby is with someone who genuinely cares about him, respects our routines and parenting choices and understands that every baby develops at their own pace. She is responsible, loving, patient and trustworthy. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to any family looking for someone who will treat their baby with the same care and attention they would give their own. 💕 We love Melissa and she became part of our family.
