Meet Melinda

  • Comfortable with pets

I am an experienced babysitter and nanny. I have worked as an after school babysitter for a teenager and 7 year old boys. I was responsible for picking the children up, preparing healthy snacks, assisting with homework, and even playing a little Yu-Gi-Oh card games. I also have worked as a live-in nanny for a 10 year old girl and a 14 year old young lady with physical disabilities. My responsibilities varied widely from shopping, cooking, assisting with homework, attending practices, etc. In truth however, I was a natural member of the family and was more like an older responsible sibling. I love children and this is why I have chosen helping children grow and develop as my profession. I am science teacher and would love to be of part-time help to you and your family and help you care for them.
