About Melanie

Childcare works best when families feel supported, not stretched thin. I'm here to strengthen your village with steady, dependable care so your home runs smoother and your child feels secure, encouraged, and engaged. With 7 years of paid childcare experience working primarily with ages 4 through 12, care goes beyond supervision. Children are guided through confidence building, emotional awareness, and independent thinking using creative play, conversation, after-school support, and everyday exploration. Experience includes leadership development, routine building, travel support, and working with neurodivergent and trauma-impacted children. Care is calm, structured, and responsive, with respectful boundaries and room for imagination and voice. Families value my punctuality, clear communication, and consistency. I maintain a strong reliability record with recurring families and no missed bookings. I show up present, prepared, and committed to helping each household thrive.
