About Melinda
Experience: 10 yrs

Preschool teacher from Germany, speaking english, german and french and had experience sitting up to five kids at a time working at private families. I am a mother of three and having twins myself and cared for family with twins previously, I am experienced with twin care. Most kids I have watched were newborn to young adults as I cared for children and young adults with disabilities. I left my profession as an Air traffic controller years ago to follow my passion caring for children. I love being active, like most sports and being a Life Guard like swimming. Job duties included, but not limited to: preparing bottles, diaper change, tummy time, potty training, early childhood education, school drop offs/ pick ups, homework assistance, indoor and outdoor activities, meal prep, laundry, sick care, bathing, bedtime, and other, depending on parents child care needs. First Aid, CPR and Infant CPR certified.

We didn’t just find a nanny-we found family! Our kids adore her, we trust her completely (especially overnight) and I could not imagine raising my boys without her in our home for those first two years. Melinda was with us since my firstborn was 4 months to 1.5 years old and then I had another son during that time as well. She shows up with her whole heart and loves my boys as they were own children. Whether it was navigating toddler tantrums, sleep schedules or finding new ways to feed them vegetables and fruits, she did with grace and so much love. We still have a relationship with her and her family to this day! We had to move for work and had to part ways (BREAKS MY HEART) but would take her back in a heartbeat. Any family lucky enough to hire Melinda will understand that they are gaining family not just a nanny.
