Meet Melanee

  • Speaks English
  • Comfortable with pets

My primary career includes being a professional dancer, choreographer, and dance fitness instructor. I received my Bachelor's of Science in Biological Sciences from DePaul University in 2008. I have taught kids and adults dance classes for the past 4 years. I have 10 years of experience in caring for infants and kids up to 13 years old. I currently teach kids hip-hop dance classes at Suder Montessori School and love it! I also babysit for an autistic 6 year-old boy and have been taking care of him for the past 2 years. I received my CPR AED certification last year. Coming from a family of doctors and nurses, I have participated in several medical missions in the Philippines for the past 5 years and have experience in First Aid. In summary, not only can I babysit your kids, but I can also teach them how to dance!
