Hello, my name is Melissa Lankin. I have been working with children since I have been fourteen years old. I have been a babysitter for numerous children from 1 years to ten years of age. I have sat up to four children at one time for eight hours. I am currently seeking my Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) certification and will have that in early 2016 with a Bachelor's of Science in Therapeutic Recreation degree from Grand Valley State University. I have worked at the YMCA day camp as a counselor as well as Camp Aranzazu in Rockport, TX where I was an activity leader for children from five to eighteen years of age with disabilities and chronic illnesses. I am currently looking for a nanny position from two days per week to five days per week. I am open to any hours that are available. I have my American Read more Red Cross First Aid, CPR, and Lifeguard certification that is current. I am fun, energetic, loving, and I love to do activities and games with children! I love dogs and cats so don't worry that I'm allergic. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me on my email and we can chat further from there. :)
