About Melanie
Experience: 8 yrs
Hello! My name is Melanie, and I absolutely love this rewarding career! I have five years of professional nanny experience, substitute teaching experience, and nursery care. I feel my B. A., coursework in elementary teaching, and early childhood development classes have given me a broad perspective on how to care for children during different stages. I have a compassionate and kind nature, enjoy pets, housekeeping, and love any kind of fun, creative activity. I have a resume with more info if you are interested, and can also provide letters of recommendation. Thank you so much for considering me to care for your special family!

Melanie was great with my 5 month old daughter which is why she is getting 3-stars. However, I had to let her go due to reliability issues. She often asked to leave early each week, which I tried to be accommodating, but my main concern was her last-minute callouts that left me stranded without a sitter. Additionally, she was late almost every day averaging 15-20 minutes and sometimes as late as 1hr 1/2. Overall, she was good with my daughter but her unreliability made it things very difficult
