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.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found Lina for our family. She has been an absolute game-changer in the care of our children. From the very beginning, she connected with them in a way that immediately made them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Her warm and nurturing personality shines through every interaction, and it’s clear that she genuinely cares about their well-being. What sets Lina apart is her remarkable attentiveness and thoughtfulness. She not only anticipates our kids’ needs but also engages them in meaningful activities that foster both learning and creativity. Whether it’s crafting, outdoor adventures, or helping with homework, she makes every moment fun and educational. Our children have grown so much under her care—both emotionally and intellectually.
