About Melina

Experience: 3 yrs

I'm passionate about nurturing the growth and development of children and am here to provide reliable childcare for your family. With three years of experience caring for children between the ages of 0 and 10, I can confidently handle up to three children at a time. I prioritize open and transparent communication, employing the method preferred by parents to discuss their child's day or any concerns that arise. My patient, calm, and friendly nature creates a welcoming environment for children and parents alike. I ensure a structured environment by comfortably enforcing household rules and enjoy engaging children in educational and fun activities like board games and puzzles. Being a skilled swimmer, I'd love to teach your children how to swim too! My commitment to your family's needs extends beyond childcare. I have some college education under my belt and am CPR-trained and First Aid-certified. I also have a car, am comfortable with pets, and speak both English and Spanish.

Melina has babysat for us twice now, and she is wonderful. She is kind-hearted, responsive, and a confident caregiver. Our 6 month old was so happy to see her again! We will continue to call her when we need a sitter.
