About Merlynda
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello! My name is Merlynda and I have all told 15+ years experience working with kids, and I am also a mom to a punky 2-year-old. I started volunteering at my church nursery in Norwich, CT when I was 16. After high school, I attended the University of Arizona and in my early 20s I worked full time at Little Sprouts Daycare in Tucson, AZ. When I was 23 I began working as a Graphic Designer for KVOA news and I stayed there for 3 years. When I was 26 I moved to LA and I worked as a Freelance Graphic Designer and movie / TV extra. Now I am im Fort Collins, as a mom, an actor, an ecomm manager and looking to do some baby sitting :) I am a fun and responsible baby sitter. I know the value of song, dance, art, imagination, and fun, but also I know the importance of safety and teaching by example! I love arts and crafts, and I love reading. Happy to help with home work, meal prep and cleaning as well. Thanks for visiting my profile and I hope to hear from you.
Most recent review
Merlynda helped care for our infant son as a mother’s helper and she was phenomenal. She was always on time and very communicative. We continue to use her for baby sitting as she’s the only one we trust with our baby. We would highly recommend her!
