Meet Melanie
- Comfortable with pets
CURRENT AVAILABILITY BEGINNING *SEPT/AUG 2023* FULL DAY THURSDAYS AND FRIDAYS, FOR LONG TERM. Hi! I'm Melanie. Previously, I was a preschool teacher for 7 years. Due to covid, I left the school scene and chose something smaller. Sept. 2020 - June 2021, I was an in person POD Teacher for Pre K students. We were all comfortable, safe, and trusted the precautions each of us were taking in our day to day lives. We built very strong bonds. My journey in childcare began in 2011, although I have always spent time with & looked after my little brother and younger cousins. Ages in experience range from infancy and up. I am seeking occasional childcare opportunities for weekday evenings & date nights, possible earlier times during the week depending on the day, & weekends. I have a passion for children & I believe that play and exploration are great tools for Read more learning, growing, and developing. I am hoping to find a family to work with, one that I can build a positive and lasting relationship with. It is important for me to build open and trusting relationships with both children and their caregivers. I am caring, nurturing, responsible, and easy going. I enjoy exploring nature, relaxing, writing, and roller blading. I also make treats for special events :) I have references and have gotten background checks with the DOE / fingerprinted and am CPR certified I look forward to meeting you, Melanie

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!
