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.
