Hi :) My name is Melissa and I hope to be your potential sitter. I have A TON of experience (17 years) working with children from ages 3-20 years old. I have worked with youth in a variety of settings: camps, classrooms, outdoors, recreational, volunteering, and mentor ships. I’m currently living in Mill Valley and am in graduate school. I am a passionate, empathetic person who prides myself on my friendliness, reliability, communication skills, flexibility and openness. I enjoy fostering children’s interests, playfulness, and curiosities. In my free time I love to travel, hike, camp, dance, create, check out live music, cook, read, and just enjoy nature. I hope to work for an active family that values sustainability, meaningful connections, and experiential education. I am also an experienced pet sitter if you have pets. I look forward to connecting and fostering a meaningful relationship with you and your family.
