About Me

Hello, I’m Melissa. I started babysitting when I was 15 and really enjoyed it. At 21, I moved to the UK to become an au pair, taking care of one-year-old twins and a three-year-old girl. It was a great experience! After that, I worked in an office back in Switzerland for a few years, but I realized that I missed working with children too much.

I believe in gentle parenting where I set kind but clear boundaries. This helps children understand what’s expected of them while feeling supported and safe. I love doing fun things like going to playgrounds, soft play areas, or swimming with the kids. These activities are not only fun but also help children grow physically and mentally.

I’ve also got experience with baby-led weaning, which is all about helping babies learn to feed themselves from our family meals.

Now, I want to go back to what I love doing most—helping children learn and grow every day. I'm looking forward to the chance to bring my passion and skills to a new family and create a warm and nurturing environment for their children.

My Experience

With over nine months of dedicated experience as an au pair, I have provided exceptional care to twins aged 12 months and a 3-year-old girl. My journey in childcare began at the age of 15 when I started babysitting. My hands-on experience and a genuine passion for nurturing children make me a reliable choice for your childcare needs.

My Qualifications

First Aid Certification: I hold a recently completed first aid course, ensuring that I am well-prepared to handle any emergencies that may arise while caring for your children.

Bilingual Proficiency: I am fluent in both German and English, allowing for effective communication with your children and facilitating language development.

Childcare Training: I have a solid foundation in childcare, having undertaken a childcare course in Switzerland when I first started babysitting. This training equips me with the knowledge and skills to provide a safe and nurturing environment for your children.

Clean Criminal Record: I can provide a clean criminal record from Switzerland, assuring you of my trustworthiness and commitment to your family's safety.
