Hi, my name is Melanie and I am a 22-year-old senior in college studying social work. Two summers ago, I worked as a mother's helper for a family with three girls ages 5, 2, and 6 months. Some of my duties included meal prep/feeding, light cleaning, accompanying at doctor s appointments, and clothes/diaper changing as the mother had worked from home. This past summer I worked as a babysitter for two boys ages 3 and 1. 5. I had similar duties as well as taking them to the park and driving the boys to camp and other needed places. I have traveled to Nicaragua three times to work with children ages 3-14 in schools and kids clubs in impoverished areas. My peers and I taught them about the importance of self-care, good hygiene, physical activity, future planning, and more through activities and games. I am currently a social work intern Read more at an alternative, therapeutic school for children with learning and behavioral disabilities. I love kids and will try to be as flexible with my schedule as possible. Mainly looking for summer work as I will be going to graduate school in September. However, I will be commuting so if more care is needed during the school year, we can further discuss. I look forward to hearing back from you!
