About Melanie
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am a grandma of 10, recently moved to Fort Wayne from the Chicago area. Since 2021, I have been enjoying my grandchildren and doing my "grandma" duties. I was caring for a family of two girls up to the time I left Illinois in May. I started watching them in 9/2017. I began professional childcare in 1993 and have continued offering my services up to the present. The children ranged in ages from infant to 12 years. Throughout the years I have cared for approximately 30 families, some repeat clients and long term-over eight years. See my profile for much deeper details of my work history and responsibilities.

I trusted Melanie from the first time she watched my first child six years ago. Now she has provided care for my two children. She is a mother of four (young adults), and clearly is a natural when it comes to caring for children. She is punctual every time. She has demonstrated flexibility by providing childcare for us at the last minute (on multiple occasions) when it didn't conflict with her other childcare obligations. She is very committed and honest. It's obvious that she cares deeply for children and the needs of the entire family.
