My name is Melissa Hinson. I am a single mom with two beautiful children. I am a school teacher in an elementary school. I teach in a special needs PreK classroom. I have been a teacher for 8 years now, but I've worked in different capacities with children for the last 30 years. I enjoy my career and it's a joy to see my children taking steps toward their goals. I love when children get engaged in hands- on activities. I would be very intentional engaging your children in any activity they might enjoy and can learn from. I feel the best thing about babysitting is their unique abilities. Children need a lot of love and support so they can thrive, stay safe and be happy.

I love working with children and showing them how to be a better person. I began working with children at a camp when I was 14 years old. I knew that was my calling to work with children after that camp experience. I have experience working with newborns, toddlers, kids and teenagers. I also have experience working with special needs. I enjoy working and spending time with children because they are our future. I enjoy anything from watching television with them to assisting them with their school assignments. I believe every child is unique and can do anything they put their minds to. I believe I would be a positive influence on any child.

I have been working full-time in childcare since 2021. Prior to that, I gained valuable experience as a part-time babysitter and a seasonal summer camp counselor. Before entering the childcare field, I spent 10 years in customer service. My decision to transition into childcare was a thoughtful one—I realized that my true passion has always been teaching and supporting growth in others. Since making that change, I’ve never been happier. I began my childcare career as a teacher assistant at a Montessori school, where I completed six professional development trainings. Working alongside certified Montessori teachers gave me a strong understanding of the Montessori approach. Since 2022, I’ve been working at a Reggio Emilia–inspired school, which has become my favorite educational approach. I love how it’s child-led and encourages lots of outdoor exploration and learning. During the 2023–2024 academic year, I also taught the Singapore Math curriculum to 5- to 6-year-olds in an after-school program. I’m confident working with children of different ages and always strive to create a nurturing, engaging, and supportive environment for every child in my care.

I'm a former preschool teacher with a degree in Psychology from UNC-Chapel Hill. I also have two grown children of my own. I have worked in private homes for almost two years now. Working privately, I really get to know the children one on one. This creates a special bond not only with the children, but also with the parents. Trust is key in childcare. I work mainly with younger children (newborn to 6 years old), but I am able to work with any age group. My experience as a preschool teacher allows me to create fun learning experiences in-home, whether it is for babysitting or something more long-term. I have always loved working with children since I was a babysitter in high school and nanny during my college summers. After having my own children, I became very involved in volunteering for the school system. I assessed incoming kindergartners and tutored elementary school children. As a preschool teacher, I developed engaging activities (including daily crafts, reading, music, and play) to enhance children’s creativity and motor skills. I also created weekly themed lesson plans for the 3-year-old class. I led daily circle time to review the alphabet, numbers, shapes, calendar information, weather, and themes. This position also included communicating with parents regarding their child’s development, progress, and issues. Taking care of children is the most rewarding experience. I feel children can teach us so much about life through their eyes. I can't imagine doing anything else!
