About Melinda

I'm a patient and creative caregiver who enjoys helping children learn, grow, and reach new milestones. I have 5 years of babysitting experience with family and friends, along with over a year of professional daycare experience. I have worked with children ages 12 months to 13 years. My experience includes managing routines, preparing meals, naps, diaper changes, potty training, and creating a safe, nurturing environment. I'm certified in First Aid and CPR through American Red Cross and have completed state-required childcare training. I love planning crafts, sensory activities, reading, and educational play that keeps children engaged while supporting development. As a pet owner of two cats, I'm also comfortable around animals. In my free time, I enjoy reading and art, and I bring that creativity and calm energy into caregiving. My goal is to be a reliable, supportive caregiver families can trust.
