Hi! My name is Mel, and I'm a nursing student with over 10 years of childcare experience. I started out babysitting my younger cousins and neighborhood kids, and over the years, I've worked with children of all ages-including those with special needs and kids on the autism spectrum. I currently work in healthcare and also serve as a behavioral technician, which has helped me build strong skills in patience, communication, and understanding individual needs. I'm passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for every child I care for!
