About Melinda

I have been involved with childcare in some form since the age of nine. My mother was a nanny at that time and it sparked a deep passion and love for childcare. I babysat and volunteered in my church nursery extensively throughout all of my teen years and started nannying full time in a professional capacity at the age of 19. I have experience taking care of twins, multiple children of varying ages at the same time, and completing simple housework activities while keeping a watchful eye on the children in my care. I encourage literacy from a young age, creating a daily emphasis on reading and intentional communication throughout the day. Even simple, daily tasks can be used as teaching moments, increase vocabulary, and allow a child to begin to take healthy ownership of their life early on.
