About Melanie
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! I'm an experienced nanny/swim instructor from London who loves kids. I have flexible PT availability in the Norfolk/Franklin MA area while my work is on hiatus starting late March/early April 2024. I've lived in the US since '06 when I moved here to nanny for my first family in TX :) I'm a part time freelance journalist and dog mom with a flexible schedule. I have a wide range of experience with children of all different backgrounds and personalities. I was a full-time nanny from '06-'17 while I pursued my education, primarily with 3 families (in TX and CA) with children aged from 3 weeks-17 years, including kids with special needs, autism, and ADHD. I also taught kids swimming for 5 years from parent-and-me classes to college athletes. From all this experience, I know how to be fun, compassionate, caring, understanding, firm but fair, and communicative with kids and parents or guardians. I look forward to meeting you!

Mel "Brit" is an amazing person!! She helped out our family as I was recovering from knee surgery and I was sad to no longer need her help. My two children adored her, and looked forward to spending time with her. She is incredibly kind, calm, and understanding. Brit has so much patience, and really connected with our kids. We have continued to have her babysit on an as needed basis. She is excellent!
