About Melanie
Experience: 9 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hi! I'm Melanie! I'm a first-year doctorate student at USC studying occupational therapy! Many people ask me why OT, and the short answer is that when I was born, the doctors told my parents that my twin brother would never walk, or talk and would need assistance his entire life. Throughout the years, my brother has taught me selflessness, and patience and fostered my intuitiveness in detecting people's needs. I'd describe my personality as thoughtful, consistent, and fun. I have been babysitting for over 8 years, ages 4 months+ Most recently, I have cared for a 15-month-old, a 3-year-old with down syndrome, and a 2. 5-year-old with autism (I have references from these families!) I am fully vaccinated + double-boosted CPR certified, and a non-smoker.
