About Melanie

Experience: 3 yrs

Hey there I'm Mel! I am a 26 yr old young professional. My dad always said he was inherently closest w/ friends that had kids. So he raised us around families! I have babysat since middle school & used to lead/plan Sunday school classes at a big church w/ my sister. All of the closest adults in my life have children! I have 3 years total of paid care. Before college, I did before/after school care. During 1 year of college before I withdrew I worked in a daycare & was mostly in the baby room. I got to plan lessons & received some virtual training w/ the state. I then enrolled in early childhood ed in a tech school & did not continue but went back to before/after care & daycare w/ the same before/after school company. W/ me you are paying for intuitive/intentional/engaged play & care, peace of mind protecting your babies at all costs, & as well always aiming to always be a positive impact/help however I can in your home! Would be honored to serve you!

Melanie has watched my kids (5 and 1 years old) a couple of times and she is amazing. She is so kind, communicates well, and is attentive and fun with the kids. I would definitely recommend her!
