Meet Melissa: A nanny, babysitter, and au pair in New York, NY

Hi, my name is Melissa, and I am 26 years old! I live in Staten Island but work and go to school in Manhattan, so I am always in the city! I grew up in New York City, so I know my way around all the boroughs. I have three younger siblings, so I always grew up taking care of younger children. Some things I like are playing sports, reading books, and running. I am a very organized and detail-oriented person. I have been working with children since I was 17 years old. My past jobs include being a substitute para for many children of different age groups and a camp counselor for pre-k. I also became a head counselor for two years for 3rd-grade girls.
