Meet Melanie

  • Comfortable with pets

I have been babysitting for over ten years. My grandmother, who was a nanny, would often take me with her to help out with younger kids. When I was old enough, I started babysitting for some of her clients. Now I am referred to families through friends of mine who babysit or nanny but since I am newer to the Los Angeles area I'd like to connect with more families! I am a creative writing mentor/coach for an organization called WriteGirl. The age group is generally 13-18 year old girls but I have experience with infants, and generally children of all ages. I am comfortable cooking, helping with homework, driving (as long as the child will wear a seat belt, has car seat, or whatever is needed for his or her size and age) and play time outside! I am a southern California native from the Palm Springs area. After Read more I graduated from Chapman University in Orange, California and moved up to the San Francisco bay area. I was privileged to babysit a few toddlers in SF which has so many beautiful parks and playgrounds! In the last year I have moved to Los Angeles to pursue my career as an actress and writer. I enjoy time with kids because they are so funny and inspiring!
