About Melinda
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello families! . I have around 23 years of experience in childcare which includes 10 years of being a nanny, along with 10 years experience working with children in Traditional and Montessori classrooms , a site coordinator for a before and after school program and experience being a camp counselor so I have experience with all ages of children. I like to incorporate ASL (American Sign Language) to better communicate with your little one as they are growing. I am CPR and First Aid certified . I also have age appropriate activities that I do to enhance your child's creativity and fine motor skills. I travel with my own activities and I like to think I am highly motivated, empathetic, flexible, dedicated, loving, reliable, patient, energetic, and a positive role model. Please read my reviews below. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you for your time.

We feel incredibly lucky to have had Mindy care for our daughter. She has been such a warm, patient, reliable, and loving presence in her life. She was always punctual, dependable, and great at communicating with us, which gave us so much peace of mind. Beyond providing wonderful care, she really took an interest in our daughter’s learning and development. She worked with her on the alphabet and numbers and helped her make great progress while keeping learning fun and engaging. Additionally, my daughter loved her “Nanny bag” in which she brought fun toys for them to do activities. It’s bittersweet to write this review as our little one is starting school, but we are so grateful for all the love, care, and support she has given our family. We would wholeheartedly recommend Mindy to any family looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. She will truly be missed!
