Melissa Galloway
$20 per hour for 1 child

I am a 37-year-old mom of two. I live in Galloway Ohio My kids are 11 and 14 so they go to school and come home at different times I have helped raise my nieces four month old one year-old and four year-old. I have tons of experience with babysitting over my lifetime. My previous job before this was a medical assistant at an OB/GYN where I done manual blood pressures and took all other vitals and gave shots and helped with procedures before that I worked in the ICU at Grant hospital as a PSA and helped nursing with daily task and wound care at the hospital. I was CPR and first aid trained in adults and children. I am a huge animal lover. I have two dogs of my own, a bully and a bull terrier, girl, and boy and one kitten I’ve had animals in my entire life even as a child. I have done home health caregiving before in the past I have worked with a wide range of adults of all ages, both genders from MRDD individuals to elderly some of them with certain conditions and some without I have done things where I’ve provided personal care in housekeeping to just companionship running errands. I’ve also been a personal assistant for one of the elderly people I was helping taken care of, so I guess caregiving has always been a part of my life ever since I was young. I’m pretty flexible now that my kids are in school and go and come at the same time. I have a lot of free time. I would also be willing to do childcare in my own home if that was needed and I have a space for my dogs and kitten that I could put them so they would not be around anybody’s children if you didn’t want your child around any animals Thank you for your consideration!

I have a strong background in providing compassionate, dependable care and creating a safe, supportive environment for others. Professionally, I've built my career around helping people by listening carefully, solving problems, staying organized, and communicating with empathy and patience. My greatest strengths as a caregiver are my reliability, kindness, and ability to remain calm under pressure. I'm attentive to individual needs, dependable, and take pride in making others feel comfortable, respected, and cared for. I'm also a quick learner who adapts easily to different routines and preferences. My experience includes caring for children by providing supervision, engaging activities, meal preparation, and maintaining a safe environment. I also have experience assisting seniors with companionship, daily routines, light housekeeping, meal preparation, and offering patient, respectful support. In addition, I'm comfortable caring for pets, including feeding, walking, playtime, and ensuring they receive plenty of attention and affection. Beyond caregiving, I'm experienced with household services such as light cleaning, organizing, laundry, meal preparation, and helping keep a home running smoothly. I understand that every family has unique needs, and I'm committed to providing dependable, trustworthy care while treating every home and loved one with the same respect I would my own.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
