Hi, I’m Mel! I’m currently looking for a part-time nanny or babysitting position and will be available to start with one month’s notice. I’m based near Linden and open to positions within about 8 miles (excluding Staten Island). I’m 29, CPR/First Aid certified, and have over 13 years of experience in babysitting and nannying. My experience includes caring for infants, working as a mother’s helper, and caring for multiple children (in daycares as well), including twins. I’m very comfortable with energetic kids and enjoy creating a fun, engaging environment through activities like arts and crafts, reading, and creative play. I’m reliable, punctual, and naturally attentive, and I take pride in making both children and parents feel supported and at ease. My rate starts at $24/hour and increases by $1 for each additional child. I offer paid trial days at $23/hour. References are available upon request. I do require a one-month notice before transitioning to a new position, to ensure the family I’m currently working with has enough time to find a replacement caregiver. I’m available for video, phone, or in-person interviews. Looking forward to connecting!

Mel has worked with my now 3 year old for a few months. My daughter suffers from separation anxiety and Mel did a terrific job with making her feel more comfortable. I highly recommend Mel and will definitely call her again down the line if I need her help.

Energetic, dependable, and nurturing caregiver with extensive experience caring for children from newborns to tweens, both professionally and personally. I also previously worked as a Director in Childcare Education, giving me strong experience in child development, structured learning, safety, and creating supportive environments for children of all ages. As a proud mother of four successful young adults beginning their professional careers, I understand the importance of patience, guidance, structure, and emotional support throughout every stage of a child’s development. I dedicated over 13 years to my previous family/employer, building long-term relationships based on trust, consistency, compassion, and reliability. I am highly organized, patient, and passionate about helping children thrive in a safe, engaging, and positive environment. English is my primary language, I am a U.S. Citizen, and I have a clean driving record with a reliable vehicle. I also offer flexible availability, including days, evenings, weekends, and occasional babysitting support.

Natalie Denize-Scott cared for my three children from October 2013 to May 2026, including my twins since birth. She is dependable, nurturing, patient, and truly caring. Natalie helped with daily childcare, transportation, meal prep, bottle sterilizing, formula prep, and light housekeeping. My children loved her, and I always felt confident leaving them in her care. I highly recommend her to any family seeking a trustworthy and compassionate nanny or caregiver.

Zariah is very patient and was always engaged in learning activities with my child. She's personable and was great with decision making without me stepping in. She's hands-on and handled emotional tantrums with care and ease. My child looked forward to the days she would be at our home.
