This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello and thank you for considering my application. I have cared for and taught children of all ages from newborns to seniors in high school for the past 30 years. I have a multi-cultural educational background (17 years teaching all ages and cultures) and have also worked with and tutored students with varying special needs; particularly autism. I worked in an orphanage for many years and later as a teacher and Dean of Students at an international Missionary school. I love children and I strive to enrich their lives with fun and learning every day through play, song, and sensory experiences. I love to read, cook, and sing. I have three grown children of my own. I am bilingual; fluent in Spanish. I am happy to provide references for you. I look forward to the opportunity of meeting you and your child.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Melanie as our nanny for the past four months, and we cannot recommend her enough to any family in need of a caring and experienced caregiver. From the moment she stepped into our lives, she has been an absolute blessing. With over 20 years of experience raising her own three children and serving as a dedicated missionary, Melanie brings a wealth of knowledge and compassion to her role as a nanny. Her humility and genuine love for children are evident in the way she interacts with our 6-month-old baby boy. She goes above and beyond, ensuring his well-being and providing a nurturing environment. One of the things that sets Melanie apart is her remarkable ability to listen and adapt. She takes the time to understand our needs as parents and incorporates any necessary changes seamlessly into her care routine. Whether it's introducing new activities, singing delightful lullabies, taking our little one outdoors to explore, or recommending and purchasing age-appropriate books, she consistently finds ways to stimulate our child's development. Not only does Melanie excel in her primary role, but she also surprised us with her thoughtfulness. She often brings over delicious homemade meals, offers valuable toy recommendations, and even invited us to spend quality time with her and her son during a game night. We were deeply touched by her genuine friendship and willingness to go the extra mile. Reliability is another remarkable trait that defines Melanie. She consistently arrived five minutes early each morning, demonstrating her punctuality and commitment. We felt at ease knowing we could depend on her unwavering dedication to our child's well-being. Sadly, Melanie will be leaving us due to family obligations, as she needs to be with her sick mother. While we are saddened by her departure, we wholeheartedly understand and support her decision. Any family fortunate enough to welcome her into their lives will be truly blessed.
