About Melanie
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hi there! I am currently looking for part-time babysitting and pet-sitting gigs. I am taking a hiatus from teaching full time to be home with my 1yo while my husband works full time. I am also working a seasonal part-time remote job during the day (through July), so I'm really only looking for a day or two per week of providing childcare in the evenings. Certified middle grades educator with 12 years experience in language arts, social studies, math, and technology (basic computer science skills). 20 years of paid experience in childcare outside of the classroom. CPR/First Aid certified; pet-friendly; experienced with all ages.

Melanie is an absolute delight. My family and I warmed up to her and her sweet daughter right away. She is genuinely friendly and kind and is a great communicator. She has been a wonderful nanny to our toddler. I love that she is a mother herself; it makes trusting her with our kiddo that much easier. We are so grateful to have connected with her and look forward to continue working with her. We would highly recommend her!
