About Melanie

For two decades, I've dedicated myself to enriching the lives of children and supporting families. My goal is to provide a nurturing environment where children can thrive, explore, and develop essential social and emotional skills through nature-based experiences. As a certified teacher with Early Childhood Education (ECE) and Early Child Development coursework, I bring a creative and patient approach to childcare. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, physical games, and educational games. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children, ages 0-12+. I communicate with parents using their preferred method, offering verbal updates and regular texts or calls. I also hold current First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications. I'm happy to help with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I hope to bring my calm demeanor and passion for early education to your family.
