I'm an active and energetic Argentinian girl who loves being around kids. What I love most about lthem is their creativity, imagination and the way they are enthusiastic about life. I think that they have so much to teach us. Those are things that I could observe in my experience. I have several years of childcare experience with various ages ranging from newborns to 10 years olds. I started working as a nanny when I was 15, but actually, I think it was before because I have a sister who is 8 years younger than me in fact. I studied and graduated from university as a nutritionist, which taught me a lot about health and care in children and adolescents. I believe that my main quality is to be patient. Others of my qualities are that I'm neat, clean and organized. I love traveling, visiting new places, exercising and doing sports. I always enjoy nature and simple things :) Thanks for taking a look at my profile! I'm looking forward to hearing more about you. Love, Meli

Melly is amazing. We would hire her to watch our kids again in a heartbeat and couldn't imagine finding someone better for our kids and our family. Melly cared for our twin 1.5 year olds. We've had worked with several nannies up to that point in the kids' lives, several of whom were wonderful; Melly stands out as the best by far. Our kids are very sweet and fun, but from what we've seen with our family and friends are kids are on the wild side. Additionally, when Melly started with us our kids were in the middle of a big sleep regression and getting serious separation anxiety. By the end of her first week she was rocking both kids to sleep for naps with no help and the kids were waving good by as we headed to work. By the end of week two our kids were hugging Melly goodbye at the end of the day and counting and naming animals in Spanish :) She was always prompt and professional. She always went above and beyond to care for the kids, the space, and us and showed exceptional emotional intelligence deal with the different personalities and complexities of our family. But beyond that, Melly showed up to our home every day with a positive energy that brightened the room. She is a genuine, hard-working, loving person and no amount of words can describe what she gave to our family and how much she's come to mean to us.
