About Melanie

For 35 years, I've dedicated myself to nurturing young minds and supporting families through childcare & teaching. My passion lies in fostering children's growth and creating a positive impact on their lives. Holding a college degree in Elementary Education (specializing in teaching Reading), I have taught in public schools, private schools, and homeschooled our 6 children (including a son with Down's Syndrome). My approach is patient, creative, and friendly. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, and educational games. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules and happy to provide regular updates via text or at pickup, always respecting your preferred communication style. I'm comfortable caring for 4 children and can assist with cooking, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. Ultimately, I hope to bring my experience and genuine love for children to your family, creating a safe and happy environment where your child can thrive.
