Meet Melanie

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

I am a creative and energetic childcare provider. I enjoy reading, cooking, arts and crafts, playing games and being outdoors. I have worked at a child care center in Des Moines for the past 5 years. While I was there I worked primarily with 3-5-year-olds but also worked with toddlers and school-aged kids. I led group time, did arts and crafts, went on field trips and worked on problem solving skills with them. I also have experience working with junior high students. I am currently attending Drake University and I'm seeking a summer position. I look forward to meeting with you and your family!
