About Melanie

Experience: 3 yrs

Hey there I'm Mel! I am a 26 yr old young professional. My dad always said he was inherently closest w/ friends that had kids. So he raised us around families! I have babysat since middle school & used to lead/plan Sunday school classes at a big church w/ my sister. All of the closest adults in my life have children! I have 3 years total of paid care. Before college, I did before/after school care. During 1 year of college before I withdrew I worked in a daycare & was mostly in the baby room. I got to plan lessons & received some virtual training w/ the state. I then enrolled in early childhood ed in a tech school & did not continue but went back to before/after care & daycare w/ the same before/after school company. W/ me you are paying for intuitive/intentional/engaged play & care, peace of mind protecting your babies at all costs, & as well always aiming to always be a positive impact/help however I can in your home! Would be honored to serve you!

We had a great experience with Melanie! She was kind, friendly, and very attentive with our child. She was punctual, responsible, and easy to communicate with. We really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend her to other families.
