My name is Melina, I am a 38 years old, Brazilian. I love working with children. I became fascinated about child development and social and emotional learning after my daughter was born. I love to watch babies discovering their hands to toddler with so many why questions and putting words together. I am a mother of 2 and have over 15years of experience with children from newborn to teenagers. I have worked as a nanny for many years as well over 8years of as preschool teacher, I have child development Teacher Associate Certificate and several child relate classes and certifications. I believe that caring for children is more than a job, it is an opportunity to create a relationship with them through the daily care, while sharing a good communication with families on daily basis. The relationship with the child is based not only on good care, but on creativity Read more to set up educational play, on healthy eating habits and encouragement to learn good values. Based on that, I've always tried to work it based on the families values and listen their needs and expectations for their children. My main qualities are patience, energy, caring, honesty, communication and responsibility. If you are looking for a safe and responsible person to care for your children, I would love to help you!
