About Melanie

I've been watching children my whole life, by being the eldest in a large family, and this inspired me to become a caregiver. I want to positively impact the lives of children and provide reliable support to families. I'm creative, friendly, patient, and gentle when addressing any issues that may arise. I communicate with parents about their child's day and any concerns via text or phone call, following their preferred communication method. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy playing board games, educational games, and technology-based games and apps with the children in my care. With seven years of experience, I'm comfortable caring for up to five children at a time, ranging in age from infants to preteens. I'm also willing to assist with tasks such as cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, and supervising swimming. In addition to my Early Child Development coursework, Im also willing to get CPR certified as well as first aid
