About Melana

Experience: 10 yrs

I have been in childcare for about 25 years, unless you count babysitting as a teenager, which would make it more like 30 :) I have experience as a preschool teacher and administrator, a birth and postpartum doula, and am a trained Newborn Care Specialist. As a nanny I have worked with all ages and love all kids but have extensive experience with and a soft spot for babies.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Melana as our nanny. She has been amazing with our two kids, so patient, playful, and truly tuned in to who they are as little people. She was always reliable and consistent with her schedule, which gave us so much peace of mind. What we appreciated most was the way she engaged with our kids. Instead of relying on screens, she came up with fun activities, creative play, and little adventures that kept them active, learning, and happy. Her kindness and thoughtfulness showed up in countless small ways, and over time she honestly became like a part of our family. We can’t recommend Melana highly enough. Anyone would be lucky to have her caring for their children.
