Hi, Im Mel! I am 23 years old living in Delaware County. I love spending time outdoors, I am very family oriented, and enjoy doing crafts in my free time. I have over 7 years of experience working with children ages 1 and up. I started babysitting for a family friend when I was 14 years old and going forward I knew I wanted to work with kids in the future as well so in high school I went on to take child development classes and I also was accepted into their "Kiddie Korner" program where a handful of students were responsible for creating and executing lesson plans for the children enrolled in the program. After I graduated high school I immediately began working in a daycare as a preschool teachers assistant and over the years I have worked my way to becoming a Lead Preschool teacher myself. I am Read more CPR/ First Aid certified and have clearances.I have a reliable car with a clean driving history. Thanks for taking the time to get to know a little about me, I look forward to hearing from you!
