Hi! I’m Melinda! I have grown up babysitting most of my life, I come from a big family and have 7 siblings! I have experience working with children professionally for the past 8 years; I have been a Teacher's Assistant, Sunday School Teacher, Mentor, Nanny, provided ABA Therapy to children with Autism, worked at a non-profit, and was the Director for Family Operations at a church. Additionally, I have a clean driving record, am a non-smoker, was also CPR certified and willing to update my current status. I graduated from SJSU in 2020 with my BA in child and adolescent development. I became a full time nanny during college and continued my nannying career after graduating because I loved it so much! It is important to me to provide the love and warmth every child needs. Additionally, safety and development are some of my highest priorities while caring for my Read more nanny kiddos. Some fun things I like to do with my nanny kids include: reading, going on walks, playing outside, painting, and much more. I have experience nannying from infancy to adolescence. I have worked with 15+ families with a variety of different needs! Flexibility is key to being your nanny, I am able to adapt to your family’s and child’s needs and goals. I am punctual, responsible, and knowledgeable. A little bit more about me: I enjoy cooking new recipes, shopping, and playing with my dog! My hobbies include: playing volleyball and basketball, and running my sustainable fashion business. I hope to hear from you!
