About Melanie

Experience: 1 yr

Nurturing others has been my calling since I began caring for my grandmother at a young age. This early experience instilled in me a deep passion for supporting those in my care as if they were my own family. I bring a patient, calm, and approachable demeanor to my work with children aged one through 12. I hold First Aid Training and am happy to assist with carpooling, travel, and swimming supervision. I enjoy engaging children through outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I am comfortable following your specific household rules and preferred communication methods to ensure consistency. Since I am a skilled swimmer, I would love to help your children build confidence in the water! I look forward to providing a safe, warm environment for your family and hope to become a trusted partner in your child's growth.

Most recent review

I am a Culinary Teacher at a high school and Melanie was in my class this past year. Melanie is able to work by herself or as a member of a team, has a great work ethic and doesn't take short cuts when it comes to high standards. I am currently out of the country on vacation, but will gladly write a more in depth letter when I return July 3rd.
