About Melanie
Experience: 9 yrs
Hello! My name is Melanie and I am a reliable, loving, and engaging caregiver with many years experience. In my care, your child's overall development will be intentionally supported and strengthened. I love engaging children in interest-led activities, the outdoors, pretend play, interactive play, reading, physical movement, music, and more. I have always had a special love and connection to children and have sought out opportunities to acquire knowledge and experience. I've enjoyed providing occasional date night care for many families, volunteering at my church nursery, nannying during virtual learning with 5+ children (infant, kindergarten, grades 3 and 4), teaching in elementary church classrooms, interning at a daycare, volunteering at Books Are Wings, and nannying in my own home. I will love and care for your child as my own and provide endless opportunities for learning through play. I look forward to speaking with you about your care needs!

I reached out to Melanie through Care.com as I was searching for a sitter for our son while we were on vacation in Massachusetts. She was punctual from the time I first messaged her, to the interview over zoom, to the 2 nights she watched our son. Melanie was incredibly professional, kind, and very thorough. She was very good with our son and he loved spending time with her. She also sent us a very detailed description of everything that happened down to every minute while she watched him - it answered all the questions I didn't even know I had. Melanie is incredible and I would use her as our sitter over and over again if we lived nearby.
