Hi! I'm Melanie, a former Air Force member who recently transitioned out of the military to focus on building my family and pursuing my passion for working with children. Over the years, I've gained experience through babysitting, tutoring, church childcare, and caring for the children of family, friends, and local families. I have also spent years studying foreign languages and cultures, which has given me a deep appreciation for different backgrounds, learning styles, and ways children experience the world around them. I maintain a clean, organized, and welcoming home where children can enjoy a structured day filled with age-appropriate learning, creativity, and play. It's a great fit for parents who work from home or families looking for a safe, enriching environment outside the home. I'd love the opportunity to connect with your family and see if we're a great fit!
Melanie has such a personable character that is not only kind and compassionate but truly has a love for children. We have used Melanie for two years and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Our children get so excited every time they get to see her and have no issue transitioning to her when we do leave. She has even kept my children overnight and exceeded in playtime and bedtime routines. I don’t know what I would do without Melanie around, she is the person I call anytime I need a helping hand my husband and I need a date night. Finding a trustworthy babysitter is so hard, we really hit the jackpot with Melanie!
