About Melina

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! I'm Melina, and I'm excited to offer loving and reliable childcare. With years of experience caring for my younger siblings, cousins, and friends' children, I know how important it is to create a safe and fun environment. I'm passionate about supporting children's growth through engaging activities and building their emotional well-being. I have a background in child development and experience as a psychotherapist working with children and families, which helps me support emotional and developmental needs. I'm patient, responsible, and dedicated to making sure your child feels cared for. Whether it's playtime, meals, schoolwork help, or just providing a comforting presence, I'm here to help your child thrive while you're away. I'm fluent in English and Portuguese and currently learning Spanish, so I'm happy to work with children who speak different languages. I look forward to helping your family with quality care!
