Hi there!! I'm Melina and I'm so happy you've landed on my profile! I am currently a student and have been loving "playing" and sharpening my sketch comedy and improvisational skills at such an amazing place. I started babysitting at the age of 15 and have been fortunate enough to work with all kinds of families with a variety of needs for their children, on and off, since then. I have taught music classes at day cares and bible schools for years and loved it! I got my degree in Musical Theatre and I love dancing, singing and make believe; especially with little ones, their lack of inhibition is such a delight! I enjoy all aspects of child care and am not above light cleaning, laundry, meal prep, homework help, nor diaper changes. I am incredibly dependable, very energetic and a hard worker. I love going to museums, reading, board Read more games, puzzles and exploring outdoors. I have taken and completed a First Aid and CPR course and feel comfortable with using those skills learned if need be. I do not have my own car, but I am willing to travel a good distance if the family is a good match! Thanks for reading this and I look forward to meeting with you and your kiddos!!
