About Melanie

I have been babysitting and nannying since I was 13 years old when a neighbor gave me my first job watching her 1-year-old baby, and haven't stopped since! I have experience with infants and children, from newborn to 11 years old, as well as caring for more than one child at a time. I spent 4 years volunteering in the Child Life Department of a hospital, where I provided developmentally appropriate activities to preemies and toddlers living with both developmental and physical disabilities. When I care for a child, I understand I have the opportunity to make a small impact on how they see and interact with world, what they learn, and who they become, and I take that job very seriously. I hope to develop a trusting and good relationship with both the children and families I work with. I have a Master's Degree in Public Health, and currently work remotely as a Project Manager for a Care Management Department. I also teach trauma-informed yoga.
