About Melanie

I'm 21-year-old student at UO. I have been babysitting for 5+ years. I also grew up caring for my 9 younger siblings, so I have extensive experience with kiddos of all ages. I am CPR certified, non-smoker, and have my own car. I can help with pickups, drop-offs, homework, extracurriculars, light housekeeping, and anything else you need. I grew up on a farm and love animals, so I can help out with animal care as well! I am comfortable watching up to 5 children at a time. I'm friendly, creative, and always ready to engage with whatever interests your child, whether it's outdoor activities, puzzles, games, art endeavors, coding, etc. I am very sympathetic to the difficulties of being a parent; I know how hard it can be, and I would love to help out your family. I'm planning on becoming an English teacher one day, so working with kids is something I truly adore. I'm happy to follow your lead on household rules and provide updates via text, phone, or in person, whatever works best for you!
