About Mel

Experience: 4 yrs

With four years of nanny experience, I've learned how to nurture young minds with patience, empathy, and creativity. I'm calm and attentive with babies while remaining responsive to parents' needs and preferences. I'm completing my bachelor's in Psychology with coursework in Human Development. I'm highly communicative and value transparency-my studies will not interfere with care, though I may occasionally travel for research conferences, with advance notice provided. As a researcher and mentor pursuing a PhD in Clinical Psychology, I bring a thoughtful, emotionally aware approach to caregiving. I adapt to each family's communication style and love engaging children in educational play and outdoor activities. I'm also comfortable helping with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel, pet care, and swimming supervision. I am available to work until May 29, 2026, date is tentative to change.
