Hello! My name is Melanie and I recently moved back here from AZ. I've been working with kids since I was 13 and always had a passion for it. At first, I watched the kids around the neighbor hood or younger cousins. The last couple years I've always babysat here and there, until I finally got my first nannying job. I have a lot of experience working with infants, toddlers. I do have experience with kids and preteens as well. I am a CNA and also certified in CPR and FIRST aid. My schedule and availability are SUPER open and flexible ( because I just moved back) In my free time, I like to read, listen to music, hangout with family/friends and enjoy the sunshine.
