Experience: 5 yrs
I am a dedicated and reliable caregiver with over five years of hands-on childcare experience. I have worked in preschool settings for several years and have also coached children's sports at a kids' gym, giving me a strong background in both early childhood care and active supervision. I am experienced with school pick-ups, homework assistance, transportation to extracurricular activities, and creating a safe, nurturing environment for children of all ages. As the older sibling of three younger siblings, I have developed patience, responsibility, and a genuine love for working with children. I am also comfortable caring for pets. Families can feel confident knowing their children will be safe, supported, and well cared for under my supervision. I am also a substitute teacher part time!
I wholeheartedly recommend Melanie as a babysitter. When you're looking for someone to care for your children, trustworthiness and safety are paramount, and Melanie excels in both these areas. I always feel completely confident leaving my children in her hands, knowing they are in a secure and nurturing environment. Working with children requires a special kind of patience, and Melanie possesses it in abundance. She handles the inevitable challenges—from temper tantrums to repeated explanations—with remarkable calmness and understanding. She is incredibly adaptable and always manages to navigate changing moods and situations with ease, making the experience positive for everyone. Melanie isn't just a responsible caretaker; she genuinely connects with children and makes every interaction a positive one. Any family would be fortunate to have her.
