Hi parents, I am Melanie a caring, energetic child care professional with a strong healthcare and behavioral background. I work comfortably with infants, toddlers, and school-age kids, including children with autism/ADHD and other unique needs. I also have experience coaching little kids and leading Mommy & Me classes, creating playful, age appropriate activities that build social skills, language, and confidence all while supporting parents with simple routines they can use at home. My experience includes serving as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) using ABA strategies to help children communicate, self regulate, and thrive, also experience working in hospital emergency department where I prioritize safety, calm problem solving, and attentive care. I’m CPR/BLS certified and originally trained as a Patient Care Technician, so safety and hygiene are second nature to me. Families describe me as reliable, patient, and fun. Someone who can switch from giggles and games to gentle structure when Read more it’s time for naps, homework, or bedtime. I’m happy to help with light tidying, simple meals/snacks, homework support, arts & crafts, story time, and screen-free play. I’d be honored to support your family and give your little ones a safe, nurturing, and joy filled day.
