Hi! My name is Merlude, and caring for children has always been something I genuinely enjoy. As a substitute teacher and Certified Clinical Medical Assistant (CCMA), I understand the importance of creating a safe, patient, and nurturing environment where children can learn, play, and grow. I especially enjoy caring for infants, toddlers, and preschool-aged children through reading, arts and crafts, educational activities, and outdoor play. I'm dependable, organized, and respectful of each family's routines and parenting style. As someone who is bilingual in English and Haitian Creole, I enjoy connecting with families from diverse backgrounds. My goal is simple: to provide loving, attentive care while giving parents confidence and peace of mind that their children are safe, happy, and well cared for.
Merlude is wonderful! She’s patient, kind and energetic which are all great when dealing with kids. My son loves having her around. We know he will be well taken care of when she’s around .
