Meet Melanie

  • Speaks English and Spanish
  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

My name is Melanie and i’m 21 years old. I am the oldest out of 4 siblings. I have experience with all ages. My brothers are ages 7 and 15 and my sister is age 17. I now have a little one of my own who’s 9 months old, so care from my home would be preferred if not totally understandable. I grew up having a single mother so I’ve had to step up a lot and help her out especially with taking care of my siblings. I am great with any age. I am reliable and I do have my own car. If you need me to babysit often or just temporarily I’m your person.
