About Melinda

Experience: 20 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I am a creative and highly experienced early childhood specialist, with a passion for fostering children's growth and development. I believe in providing a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. With two decades of experience, I am dedicated to supporting families and providing reliable childcare options. My patient and friendly nature allows me to connect easily with children, while my strong communication skills ensure that parents are always well-informed about their child's day. I practice positive reinforcement and model appropriate behavior, guiding children in conflict resolution and problem-solving. Whether it's creative art experiences, reading, or fun fitness games, I tailor activities to each child's interests, fostering their individual development. I am comfortable caring for children of all ages, from infants to preteens, and am committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment for each child in my care.
