Hi there! Thanks for checking out my profile. I’m 33 years old, a UC Berkeley graduate, and I’ve been working with children for almost 6 years now. I’ve cared for kids from as young as 2 weeks old up to 10–12 years old — but most of my experience (and love!) is with newborns and toddlers under 3. I’ve had wonderful experiences as a night nanny and with sleep training, keeping babies on schedule, soothing, feeding, changing, entertaining, and supporting them to reach their developmental milestones. With older kids, I’m very animated and fun, and I love bringing learning into play. In the afternoons, I often combined childcare with tutoring — especially for kids with ADHD or on the spectrum. I enjoy finding creative ways to keep them engaged, help with focus, and make learning less stressful and more fun. Before the pandemic, I also volunteered at Sylvia Mendez Elementary School, where I supported kids who were falling behind or facing challenges at home through group and one-on-one activities, arts, and educational games. I’ve worked with twins, multiples, and premature babies, and I believe children start learning from the moment they’re born. The best discipline, in my view, is the one that matches the parents’ style — and I tend to be a great fit for families who are detail-oriented and want someone attentive and reliable. A little about me: I’m a non-smoker, fully vaccinated, and pet friendly. I’d love to chat and see if I’d be the right fit for your family — whether you’re looking for newborn nights, toddler milestones, or after-school tutoring with some extra sparkle.

Hi, I’m Melissa and I keep my calendar up to date! Parents have told me they’ve had a lot of sitters they’ve booked on UrbanSitter cancel or not show up. I find that shocking! You can count on me. 💗 Parents of type 1 diabetics—I got you. I can carb count, monitor CGM, site changes, treat highs & lows, the whole thing. I’ve been type 1 since age 8 and I use a Tandem pump with Dexcom. I've been sitting through this site since Nov 2013, usually ~30 hours per week. I've seen it all! My style with kids depends on the type of people they are (kids’ personalities vary just like adults’ do) and what the parents advise and prefer. I'm flexible! I love to travel to parks, I have a lot of great crafts up my sleeve, I know endless children's songs, I'll do as much physically active play as my body can take! I want the kids to have a good time and remember their experience with me fondly, while also keeping everyone safe & sound. I love hanging out with little folks. I love to hear what they think and see life through their eyes. Kids have unique perspectives. They are learning so much so quickly and from everywhere they can, so it's incredibly important to be mindful of that as a caretaker, modeling patience, good humor, seriousness when it's important to be serious, and attentiveness to the emotional needs of others. Kids can be funny, cute, curious, sweet, accidentally profound, and often super-bossy. They're exhausting in the best possible way. I also just adore infants and toddlers and I could hold them and play with them all day! I have been known to quickly figure out how to accommodate even the most challenging babies. I aim to be flexible! It’s OK if you need to cancel, I will not be upset or expect payment. It's perfectly OK to come home early, I will not expect payment for the full booking time. I will always stay longer if you need me to as well, so long as it doesn't interfere with another booking. I understand life is unpredictable and I hope I can make life easier for parents. Just keep me in the loop and I'll do the same.
