Hi there! My name is Melanie. With an Associate’s degree in Early Childhood Education and over 15 years of professional experience, I offer a level of care rooted in a deep understanding of child development. My background spans the full spectrum of ages, from newborns and infants to elementary-aged children. Currently, I am a stay-at-home mother to my own infant daughter, which has only deepened my patience and practical skills. Because I am home during the day, I am looking to provide occasional evening care for families in need of a reliable 'date night' sitter or someone for very part-time, late-day help. I bring a calm, professional, and nurturing presence. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I look forward to helping your little ones feel safe and happy while you take some well-deserved time away. I am comfortable with some pets.

Melanie is a wonderful babysitter! She was very kind, sweet and accommodating to my anxious 7-year old who has social communication issues. The two of them played games and had a great time! As another parent said, Melanie is easy to communicate with and answered all of my questions beforehand. I definitely recommend Melanie if you’re looking for a kind, caring and responsible sitter!

So glad we met Melanie! She was a joy to communicate with and took wonderful care of our 1.5 yo. It was obvious immediately that Melanie is a professional. She was thoughtful in her introduction to our son and quick to understand his wants and thoughts. She took care of dinner and bedtime exactly as hoped. Melanie was prompt and easy to communicate with in advance. Can not recommend more highly. We will be reaching out to Melanie again!
