Hi there, I’m Mel! ☺️ Please read thoroughly before reaching out or booking me! I’m 27 and looking for a long term part-time gig located between Springfield and Elizabeth while I work on my Child & Adolescent Development BA at SNHU. (long term positions *1-3* years is preffered but short term *2-11 months* is welcome too) At the start of 2020, I had completed 11 years of full time nannying for twin girls and their autistic brother all from infancy while routinely housekeeping for the family, running errands and oftentimes caring for their cats and pitty. Soon after, I nannied twin tots again for 2 years and occasionally cared for the family dog while briefly babysitting another sweet toddler towards the end of my term. I’m very into art myself so I’ve learned to utilize it as my “everything-tool” when allowing children to explore, learn, and understand things so that Read more what they’d typically view as a chore would be seen as a curiously fun activity to engage in! 🧸🩷 My services🩷🧸 Playtime, read, simple or ready-made meals, diaper/clothes changes, basic tidying, bus pick up/drop off. (Minor additional charges for extra things you’d like to add onto my responsibilities list like driving, household management, cooking, or tutoring.) ❤️ CPR and First Aid Certified 🧩 11+ years experienced with autism and ADD 😷 Always masked up Message me to inquire! You’ll then have the options to request my referrals, certifications and/or run a BGC/MVR on me.

Mel has worked with my now 3 year old for a few months. My daughter suffers from separation anxiety and Mel did a terrific job with making her feel more comfortable. I highly recommend Mel and will definitely call her again down the line if I need her help.

Mel has taken care of our twin girls for about two years (from 2 y/o to 4 y/o). She is kind, patient and creative. Our girls love spending time with her. She incorporates art and learning in their play. She's reliable and responsible. We would highly recommend her.
