Melanie is AMAZING, and was the PERFECT choice for helping us with our newborn baby boy! I was hesitant, at first, to even consider a nanny, but Melanie quickly made us realize just how essential a nanny really was for us. The time it saved us, and the much needed extra sleep we could get between "shifts," were priceless! In no time at all, Melanie was like family!

My brief description would be I’m a fun-loving babysitter. I simply enjoy spending time with children. I pride myself on being able to play and act goofy with the kids, yet still have them listen and respect me. I love taking children to interactive and fun activities such as the park, zoo, etc. I have over 8 years of experience of babysitting with various age groups ranging from infant to middle school.

Brooke T., Babysitter in Ballardsville, KY 40014 with 0 years of paid experience

I’m a reliable and caring babysitter with a strong background working with elementary-aged children. Growing up with a mother who is a teacher, I’ve always been around kids and understand the importance of creating a fun, supportive, and engaging environment. While I’m newer to professional childcare, I have hands-on experience working with children in both counseling and school settings, as well as babysitting for family members. I love planning creative activities, helping with schoolwork, and keeping kids active and entertained in a positive way. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have my own reliable transportation, and am happy to assist with household tasks or anything else that helps make your family’s routine run smoothly. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and enjoyable experience for both children and parents!
