About Melanie

Experience: 10 yrs

I started babysitting for my twin cousins when I was just 12 years old. They lived right down the street from me and I cared for them up until I was about 16 years old. After gaining a handful of knowledge about the in's and out of care-giving, I was able to gain more experience as word-of-mouth traveled quickly throughout the neighborhood and community where I lived in. I quickly became CPR certified at a young age and was babysitting almost every weekend. I started offering night services in my junior year of high-school to a close family that traveled often on the weekend, but couldn't yet bring their two boys. I was a full time weekend caregiver where my duties included meal preparation and light cooking, bringing children to and from activities, supervising play dates, assisting with homework and reading skills, in addition to making bedtime a fun experience with storytelling, reading, or whatever practice that family needed. I am easy to get along with and I have been babysitting and conducting overnight stays, including caring for the client's pets as well, for several years now. It brings me great joy to help children learn and maintain their day-to-day routine.

Melanie babysat for me for several years and she is wonderful! She is very organized and thoughtful. She engaged my children in fun, creative activities and on school nights made sure they kept to their schedule. They were always happy when Melanie was coming over! She was often "in demand" in the neighborhood as many families wanted to have her babysit. She took good care of the house, always keeping things tidy. Melanie is very dependable and conscientious; I was comfortable having her there as I knew she would take care things. In addition to being a great babysitter/caretaker, she maintained excellent grades throughout school. Melanie truly cares about the families that she works for. She would ask me how the children were doing in school, and offer ideas to help them with various projects. Melanie is dependable, friendly, and truly a wonderful person. You will be very happy with her work!
