About Melanie

For over 10 years, I've been dedicated to nurturing young minds and creating enriching experiences for children. My passion for fostering growth stems from positive experiences in previous babysitting roles and a genuine desire to make a positive impact. With a graduate degree and early childhood development coursework, I bring a wealth of knowledge to my care. I'm patient, creative, and approachable, and I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and educational games with children. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and caring for up to two children, ages 0-11. I maintain open communication with parents through verbal updates at pickup and regular texts or phone calls. I am also First Aid and CPR trained. I can assist with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel, and swimming supervision. I have a car and I'm comfortable with pets. I find joy in seeing the world through a child's eyes, and I'd love to bring that enthusiasm to your family.
