About Melanie

I have always had a love of working with kids. I grew up in a large family - the youngest of 8. Now that we are all grown up I have 12 nieces and nephews - so going home is a lot of fun. I started working with other kids who lost a parent, which is was an incredibly transformative experience, because I could relate to it. I have a huge passion for play and imagination. Working with kids allows those doors to childhood creativity to stay wide open. I've worked with kids in therapy, twins, kids who struggled learning how to talk, etc. When I think of myself as a nanny, I think of myself as a part of a family. My typical job duties have been: driving to and from school, watching kids and their friends for play time, birthday parties, playing at parks, bike riding, cooking, cleaning, laundry and reading books. I've missed being a part of a family and learning along side children that I come to love. I am positive, creative and a good role model. I'd love to be a part of your family!
