Hi! I’m Melisa 😊 I’m new to UrbanSitter, but I have over 7 years of experience working with children of different ages. I started my childcare journey as an Au Pair for 2 years and later worked as a live-out nanny for another 2 years. I also have professional experience as an Early Childhood Educator working with young children in a classroom setting. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a certification in Early Childhood Education, which have given me a strong understanding of children’s emotional, social, and developmental needs. I’m also a certified 200-hour Yoga Teacher, and I love incorporating mindfulness, movement, and creativity into my time with children. I enjoy outdoor activities, arts and crafts, reading, imaginative play, and simply having fun while following each child’s interests. I’m calm, patient, reliable, and I always try to create an environment where children feel safe, comfortable, and free to be themselves. Outside of childcare, I enjoy yoga, hiking, traveling, reading, and spending time outdoors.

“We were looking for a caretaker for taking care of our 10 month old daughter for a month, before she started day care. Fortunately for us and our daughter, we ended up meeting Anna through urbansitter. Anna is extremely loving, sincere, hardworking and responsible. She quickly ramped up to our daughter's schedule, in a matter of 1-2 days. She was always on time, flexible when we needed her for a couple of extra hours during the end of the day. Within a matter of 1 week, she gained our complete trust. Her responsibilities included watching over our daughter, keeping her engaged, feeding her milk and solids, putting her for her day naps, laundry. Aside from these she would also proactively help us with some minor chores. She also keeps her environment very clean and organized. We also have a 2 year old dog who is extremely playful and loving. Anna was super friendly with our dog too. Overall, I would highly recommend her for families out there. The only reason we couldn't continue with her was because our daughter started day care.”

I've always had a passion for helping children develop and grow. With over 25 years of experience, I have the skills and knowledge to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child from new born, toddler and preschoolers. I'm extremely patient, and friendly. I know how to communicate effectively with parents about their child's day. I follow the parents' lead in enforcing household rules and am comfortable caring for one child or two children at a time. I'm a big kid at heart. I'm not afraid being silly with kids. I enjoy playing all sorts of games with children, both indoors and outdoors. Also love to have my own story time, music dancing and art class with a little one !!! In addition to my Early Childhood Development coursework, I have First Aid and CPR training, and am TrustLine certified. I also speak Chinese and English. As a caregiver, I'm committed to fostering a positive and enriching experience for both children and their families.

“We have been fortunate to have Kelly help raise our daughters (3 years and 10 months old) for the past 2.5 years. During that time she has been a wonderful part of our family. Our daughters adore Kelly. She brings a fun, warm energy with enthusiasm daily. She reads and sings with our girls throughout the day in both English and Chinese. Every day, she takes our daughter outside on a walk or visit to the library. She is also great at mealtimes getting our kids to eat full meals. With our older daughter she would help with art projects. She is attentive and gentle with our 10 month old. She shows genuine affection and care for our girls and they clearly love her. Kelly is reliable - she shows up on time (typically early) ALWAYS and comes in ready to care for our daughters right away. We’ve needed her help for 10 hours each day, and she remains attentive to our kids all day. Kelly is conscientious - she always changes the baby’s diaper before handing her off to us. And she is dedicated - she worked overtime hours when we needed extra help when my wife went into labor with our second. We especially appreciate Kelly understands the importance of the big variables to solve for with young kids - full sleep and good meals - and she communicates regularly about their naps and appetite. Altogether, we’ve had a wonderful experience with Kelly. We would happily and readily recommend Kelly to another family.”

"Johanna is AMAZING! My two boys love her - she does everything from amazing arts & crafts, to helping with homework, to getting them playing outside! She also drives them and does everything involved with after school activities: packing snacks, getting the right gear, etc."

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."

"Caitlin has been such a lifesaver for our family. We hired Caitlin to help with the after school routine. The kids took to her instantly. She does it all - school pick ups, dinners, baths, lunch making, clean up, etc. She has really helped make a busy time so much easier for us."
