About Melina
Experience: 6 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
With over 6 years of experience, I have developed a strong understanding of children's developmental needs at every stage, from infancy through adolescence. My goal is to provide a nurturing, safe, and stimulating environment where children can grow and thrive. I believe in fostering creativity, curiosity, and a love for learning through interactive play, educational activities, and hands-on experiences. As a reliable and adaptable caregiver, I prioritize clear communication with parents to ensure we're aligned in supporting the family's values and routines. Safety is always my top priority, and I'm trained in CPR and first aid to handle any situation calmly and efficiently. I look forward to the opportunity to work with your family and help your children flourish! I'm fluent in English and Spanish (happy to teach). I'm an excellent swimmer, have my own car with clean record, love animals, fully vaccinated. Right now I'm free for random babysitting and date nights.

Reviewed on 6/10/2024
“My husband and I have been so busy in general and we needed some time together, I was worried about leaving my children with someone else for the first time but we found Lina and she made us feel we could rely on her. She takes care of our babies when we need some time for ourselves or date nights. She’s extremely helpful around the house, even with things that are not her job, she goes beyond the stars!”
