I am a responsible, energetic psychology graduate student attending LIU. I am looking for local families that need a part-time sitter. I have class at night but am available in the mornings. I am the blanket-fort-making, cookie-baking, Disney-loving, made-up-game-playing babysitter that your children will ask for! I am willing to help with homework and cook if needed. I have years of experience caring for children of all ages, as well as special needs kids. Besides childcare, I have had jobs in special needs classrooms, a children's entertainment company, and I currently work for a psychological center. I love working with children and want to pursue a career doing so as a psychologist. I believe strongly in rewarding positive behavior and creating a safe space. I will ensure your children are having fun and staying safe while also adhering to your preferred schedule. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions!

Melanie is amazing. I hired her this past summer to be a "counselor" to my seven year old son in lieu of sending him to camp. We are high risk for Covid in our household so I was looking for someone who could be very responsible about wearing masks, washing hands and keeping distant outside while still providing hours of fun to keep my son busy while I worked. Melanie delivered on all fronts - she was extremely careful and my son absolutely adored her. She is smart, punctual, dependable and has a warm, loving personality. My whole family enjoyed having her around. I highly recommend her.
