My name is Melanie, and I feel I am the perfect candidate to provide babysitting services as I am: trustworthy; cheerful; nurturing; patient; energetic; creative; flexible; and able to multitask. My work history entails being a Childcare Assistant at Decatur Day Care Center; a Program Assistant at the Boys and Girls Club of the Midlands; and a Youth Counselor. I have a genuine concern for children, so, without effort, I provide an abundance of nurturing and support to children of all backgrounds. I have been babysitting for more than twenty years because I have a passion for children and the care they receive. My genuine concerns for children stem from the unconditional love and support I provided to my nieces while they were infants, and this continues to be an ongoing lifestyle. The thing I like most about being around children is that I am positively impacting the lives of Read more children by carrying out tasks that may seem simple to an outsider yet mean the most to the actual child. As a child care assistant, my duties included providing care for groups of children age 2 months to 12 years in mixed age groups and delivering instruction, supervision, and other general caregiving duties in addition to various cleaning tasks.
