Hi Families! My name is Melonnie, and I’m excited for the opportunity to work with your family! I have 4 years of paid childcare experience, along with a lifetime of hands-on experience as the oldest sibling in my family. Caring for children has always been a huge part of who I am, and I truly love creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel supported. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s degree in Bilingual Education at DePaul University, which reflects my passion for working with children and helping them thrive. I’m bilingual in English and Spanish, and I’m also learning ASL (American Sign Language) to better communicate with and support children of all backgrounds and abilities. Families describe me as dependable, patient, energetic, and engaging. Whether it’s helping with homework, creating fun activities, keeping children active, or simply making your evenings less stressful, I always Read more aim to bring positivity, structure, and lots of laughter into the home. I’m also happy to provide references upon request. I look forward to connecting with a family that values kindness, communication, and a caring, trustworthy sitter/nanny!

We loved working with Melonnie this summer! She picked our 6-year-old daughter up from camp each day and watched her for a few hours until my husband and I wrapped up work. From day one, Melonnie’s warmth and friendly energy put our daughter completely at ease, and she looked forward to seeing her every day. What really stood out was how much Melonnie invested in getting to know our daughter and tailoring their time together around her interests. Some days that meant heading to the beach, the park, or a friend’s house for a play date; other days they’d stay in for crafts and games. She was also super reliable and communicative, which made the whole summer feel easy for us as parents. We can’t wait to have Melonnie back and recommend her without hesitation!
