About Melanie
Experience: 10 yrs
I have exceptional childcare experience as a nanny, educator, behaviorist and ABA clinical manager. My outgoing and intuitive characteristics have guided me through 13+ years of working with kids of all ages. Safety, growth, and positivity are my priorities as I encourage children to have respect for nature, themselves, and others. I keep kids constantly thinking and moving, without the use of screens. In my free time (and with kids) I enjoy swimming, kayaking, gardening, cooking, painting and crafting. I am currently looking for as-needed and occasional positions. I am available now until the end of July. Please reach out if you have any questions, would like to see my resume, or set up a phone call!

Melanie is fantastic. We were traveling and needed a sitter twice. Melanie helped us out during the day and another time in the evening. The kids really enjoyed her and we couldn’t have asked for more - fed, watched, and played with them. Highly recommend! We’ll use her again when we’re in town!
