Hi! I've been a nanny and babysitter for over 14 years, caring for children from just a few weeks old up to age 12. What started as helping out a co-worker occasionally has grown into something I've done alongside my professional life for over a decade-and I genuinely love it. Most recently, I spent 7 years with one Brooklyn family, caring for their son from age 5 through 12. I've also worked with babies, toddlers, and sibling combos, including kids with autism and mood-related challenges. I'm confident juggling different needs, ages, and personalities-whether that's helping a toddler through potty training or guiding a 10-year-old through homework frustration. I'm comfortable with: -Infants, toddlers, and older children (including multiples) -Special needs (including mild autism and mood disorders) -Doctor visits -Daytime outings, pickups/drop-offs -Cooking, light cleaning, bedtime, bath time, homework help -Pet-friendly homes (I love animals!) I freelance & work remotely in sales and marketing, which gives me a flexible schedule. Whether you need regular care or backup support, my goal is to make your life easier and help your child feel safe, supported, and seen.

Hi! I'm Melina, and I love being a sitter because it allows me to create a fun, supportive, and engaging environment for children. I’ve been babysitting since I was around 14, caring for kids I knew growing up, and I still occasionally babysit for my sisters, cousins, and friends when I go back to Florida. Although I’m currently working with adults as a psychotherapist, I’ve worked with children extensively in therapy, helping families through family therapy and engaging with kids in ways that support their emotional and developmental needs. While I don’t know many children here in New York City yet, I’m eager to reconnect with my love for working with kids in a lighthearted, fun way. Whether it’s playing, reading, or just keeping your child entertained, I’m here to provide a safe and joyful experience. I also tutor independently, so I’m comfortable assisting with homework or other learning activities. I’m excited to meet your family and provide a positive, enriching experience for your child!
