I have a BA in Human Rights from Columbia and am pursuing a PT, online MSI. I've always loved kids. Kids are impressionable. I yearn to experience teachable moments with children and adolescents. I find that they are some of the most outstanding teachers. They're open-minded.. creative solutions are sometimes the best, curious.. asking plenty of thought-provoking Qs, and fun.. smiles and laughs are mutual. I started sitting at 13 and sat for multiple families nearly every weekend throughout high school. In my twenties, I worked PT days for a family with 2 y/o twins, was an after school sitter for a bright 6 y/o, and later became a FT nanny for busy 5 and 10y/o's. In nearly all positions, I drove the children to activities, prepared meals for the household, ran errands, and cleaned and organized the homes. I help at parties, stay overnight, and look after the home & pets when families travel. Plus all the time I've enjoyed with my nieces and nephews! I can't wait to meet you!

Melanie is excellent with kids. We have trusted her to watch all three of my children who are aged 7,5, and 2. She always has creative ideas and ways to keep them busy without using only technology. I would have her come watch my kids again in a heartbeat. She’s our “go to” babysitter when we need a night out!
