About Melanie

Hi there! I'm a nurturing, patient, and fun-loving person who's spent over 25 years working with kids. From babysitting and mentoring in my twenties to raising my three boys and later working as a school counselor and sub, caring for kids has always been a huge part of my life. I love helping children feel safe, happy, and confident, and it means so much to me to give parents real peace of mind. Seeing kids light up with laughter or pride in themselves truly makes my day. In my free time, you'll usually find me hanging out with my adult sons, doting on my little dog Lily, tackling projects around my house and yard, or relaxing with a good show. Something to know about me: I'm genuinely committed to creating a warm, comfortable space where kids feel understood. I'm great at staying calm when things get a little chaotic, tuning into what kids need - whether that's support, space, or just some fun - and making sure they always feel safe and cared for.
