Intro

Hi! My name's Mel and I'm originally from Australia. I love the outdoors and exploring new places, am enthusiastic and friendly and am ready to create fun, positive experiences with your children. I have 5 years experience in childcare and a background in retail, hospitality and tourism where I've developed strong communication skills, patience and the ability to adapt to different people and situations. I come from a large family that includes 4 siblings, 8 nieces and nephews and 6 great-nieces/nephews. It's safe to say that being around and looking after children comes naturally to me! I understand that holidays are precious family time, and I'd love to help parents relax and enjoy your trip knowing your children are in safe and caring hands. If you'd like to know more about me or just up for a chat, please don't hesitate to get in contact :) Mel

20/06/2026 To whom it may concern, I am pleased to provide a reference for Melissa Micallef, whom I have known for 10 years and managed directly during her time with our organization. In that period, Melissa consistently demonstrated the qualities essential for a leadership role with trustworthiness, excellent time management, and a caring demeanour for our customers. Melissa is highly trustworthy. She handles responsibilities with integrity, follows policies diligently, and communicates transparently. I was comfortable entrusting her with sensitive information and important tasks, knowing they would be managed confidentially and professionally. Her time management is outstanding. Melissa reliably arrived prepared and on schedule, prioritized tasks effectively, and adapted smoothly to changing needs. She met deadlines, kept accurate records, and ensured daily routines were completed without compromising quality of care. Beyond these strengths, Melissa builds warm, respectful relationships. She listens attentively, responds patiently, and maintains a safe, positive environment. Colleagues value her teamwork and proactive support, and families appreciate her consistent, thoughtful communication. She has an infectious energy that others warm to. I am confident Melissa would be an asset in any setting. If you require further information, please feel free to contact me. Sincerely, Di Spencer Port Douglas, Australia dizee666@hotmail.com
I have know Melissa Micallef for many years. She worked for us as a Receptionist at Alto Hotel on Bourke in Melbourne. We then moved to Port Douglas just prior to Covid and Melissa worked for us again as a waitress in our restaurant. She was a very dedicated hard-working member of staff in both roles. She has a bubbly outgoing personality and is a pleasure to work with and be around. I would employ her again tomorrow in any role. She works well with all people and her energy and enthusiasm is infectious. I highly recommend her for the role. Heather English Manager
