About Melanie
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I completed my Early Childhood Education in British Columbia, Canada. I also did specialized training for infants and toddlers and children with special needs. I worked in preschool and daycare for a few years till I opened my own childcare center in my early 20's. I worked in the field till about 30, when I moved to the USA and married my American husband. I have one adult child (my bonus kid) and two preteen kids. I homeschool and teach other homeschool children at our co-op. I enjoy making crafts and art projects with children, reading books, singing songs with little ones. I have always really loved babies, but enjoy all stages of childhood. I have been in the USA for 14 years, have been a dual USA/Canadian citizen for almost 2 years. I try to be a gentle but firm parent with lots of open communication.
