Hi! My name is Melanie and I am in my junior year at UF studying speech therapy! I love children and have been babysitting/ nannying since I was 16 years old. I worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor since I was 16 as well and have many certifications including Emergency First Responder, CPR/AED, First Aid, Lifeguarding, Water Safety Instructor, Lifeguard and CPR Instructor, and more. I also have a brother who is 7 years younger than me who I have always been attached to and have been a built in babysitter for him. I am a very active person as I get board easily, so I am definitely the type of babysitter to keep your children busy with activities! As mentioned, I love children and would love the opportunity to babysit/nanny for you!
