About Melba

Experience: 5 yrs

Hello, my name is Melba and I currently live in the Poinciana, FL area. I am a proud Puerto Rican caregiver with over 5+ years of experience caring for children, including children with special needs. I am passionate about caring for children and truly enjoy supporting their emotional, social, and developmental needs. I am a reliable, punctual, honest, and kind-hearted person who always strives to create a safe, calm, and nurturing environment. I also enjoy cooking and can help with meal preparation and light household support related to childcare. I love engaging children in meaningful activities such as arts and crafts, painting, singing, dancing, puzzles, educational games, and activities that support creativity, memory, and cognitive development. I am bilingual in Spanish and English and legally authorized to work in the United States. I am currently seeking a part-time childcare position with a family where we can build trust, connection, and a positive routine together.

Melba has been absolutely fantastic. Her role with us has been to watch my son who is on the spectrum. She started with us when he was 6 and us now turning 7. Her tasks were to be present at my sons drop off time from the school bus, help him with homework, feed him, play with him, and do some very light housekeeping. Her communication is great! She always keeps in touch with the bus driver and matron to ensure my sons status. She always communicates with me about my son, whether by text or written notes, and really has created an amazing bond with him. I am a very busy mom with very little time but with Melba she takes action without being asked because she cares about what she does. She's been extremely helpful, punctual, honest, sweet, and ultimately extremely dependable. I have zero complaints about her. I HIGHLY recommend her for any position.
