About Melanie
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello, I'm Melanie! I live in Los Angeles with my husband, snuggly chihuahua, and old sweet cat. After three incredible years working in rare disease patient advocacy, I've decided to take some time off to focus on my family and my long-term career goals. Before working in rare disease patient advocacy as a program producer, I was a full-time nanny/caregiver for over 10 years. I have nannied full-time for many fantastic families in Chicago, New York, and LA. I have extensive experience with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, shuttling to and from school/activities and being an overall helper. I am currently a freelance writer pursuing an advanced degree in the Child Life Specialist Program at UCSB. I enjoy spending time with my husband in my downtime, catching up with friends, cooking, reading, and performing burlesque. **Available for date night/weekend babysitting only**

Mel has been our son's caretaker since he was 6 months and she is pretty much part of our family. She is responsible, diligent, kind, thoughtful and has a heart of gold. She is everything we could have ever hoped for as a care giver. We love Mel and you will too.
