Hi! I’m Melanie McDonald. I’m 24 years old and received my B.A. in Sociology from Texas State University in 2024. I’ve since moved back to my hometown, Houston, and currently work full-time Monday through Friday for a plastic surgeon. I’m looking for a weekend nanny position. I have about 10–12 years of experience caring for children of all ages, with most of my experience being with infants. I started nannying as a teenager and continued throughout college, which helped put me through school. I also have a lot of experience caring for multiple children at once. I really enjoy being around kids, keeping them active and entertained, and helping out with whatever they need. Let me know if you have any questions for me, and I’d be happy to answer them! Hope to hear from you soon!

Melanie has been the nanny for my 5 month old baby for several months now. She is fabulous! Very self driven, incredibly kind, and very sweet to my baby. I would love to keep her as the full time nanny for my baby if I could.
