About Melinda
Experience: 10 yrs
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Child Development and an Associate's in Early Childhood Education, along with over 15 years of nanny experience. I'm fully cleared by the state of California with a valid Teacher's Permit and have completed a comprehensive background check. I'm also a proud mom to a 3-year-old! Before COVID, I worked as a personal assistant in Venice Beach and did occasional babysitting. Prior to that, I spent three years as a full-time nanny in Malibu and Marina Del Rey. Earlier in my career, I worked as a preschool teacher's assistant and an autism behavioral therapist. For the past 11 years, I've regularly provided weekend and evening babysitting and have plenty of references available. Originally from the San Fernando Valley and Santa Clarita, I now live in Long Beach and prefer working in the surrounding area. I bring a lot of positive energy, creativity, and reliability to my work. I'm educationally focused, fun, punctual, and genuinely loving in my care.

Melinda is a wonderful caregiver! I highly recommend her to anyone seeking exceptional care for their children. She did an outstanding job attending to my daughter's needs and went above and beyond in her role. She was not only attentive and responsible but also showed great dedication and commitment. One of the most impressive aspects of her care was her willingness to travel with us. She seamlessly adapted to different environments and ensured my daughter felt comfortable and secure wherever we went. Her professionalism and genuine love for children make her an invaluable asset to any family. I have full confidence in her abilities and I'm certain she will continue to excel in her future endeavors.
