Hello! My name is Melanie, and I am happy to have a chance to introduce myself. I spent my middle school and through high school years babysitting families of all shapes and sizes. Then, in college and beyond I was blessed to work as a nanny, babysitter, and a care giver. You could say that I might not have seen it all, but there's not much that takes me by surprise. I am the person at gatherings who someone always ends up watching everyone's kids with at least one on my hip. It's my happy place. I love seeing the world through the eyes of the children I get to spend time with: their creativity, opinions, sense of wonder and adventure, and their curiosity are amazing and energizing to me. Cooking and baking have often been on my list of responsibilities, and I even ran my school kitchen on weekends Read more all the way through college. I do have a gluten sensitivity, so don't be offended if I pack my own lunch, and I have dealt with a great deal of dietary restrictions, as well as medication management, in the past. I have been through many FBI background checks (when working as a respite provider through the state), and I have maintained my First Aide and CPR certifications since I was 14. If you have any further question, I would be more than happy to answer them for you. I look forward to hearing from you.
