About Melanie

0

Hi! My name is Melanie , and I'm a responsible, kind, and caring individual with a passion for working with children. I have hands-on experience with babies and young kids, and I'm committed to creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for them. Currently, I'm a first-year student at CSUN, majoring in Child Development. My coursework has deepened my understanding of children's emotional, social, and cognitive growth, and I'm excited to apply that knowledge to my work as a caregiver. You can rest assured that your children will be in great hands with me. I'm flexible with my schedule, and I'm happy to accommodate your family's needs. I look forward to helping your kids thrive!

We were incredibly lucky to have Melanie as part of our family for the past few years. She cared for both of our children — one from birth to age 1, and our older child until 2.5 years old — and we couldn’t have asked for a more fun, energetic, loving, patient, and capable caregiver. From the start, Melanie showed an amazing ability to connect with our kids. She created a nurturing, playful environment that supported their growth and development every step of the way. She balanced fun activities with structure, always finding creative ways to teach through play. Both kids absolutely adored her — and so did we! She is reliable, responsible, punctual and communicative, which gave us such peace of mind. Whether it was managing naps, meals, outings, or developmental milestones, she handled everything with confidence and care. She also became a wonderful support to us as parents, sharing thoughtful insights and adapting as our children’s needs evolved. We wholeheartedly recommend Melanie to any family looking for someone who will love and care for their children as if they were her own. She is truly one of a kind, and we are so grateful for the time she spent with our family.
