Meet Melinda

I’m a science teacher/outdoor educator with 30 years experience working with children. I’m getting ready to retire and would like to continue to work/teach kids. Currently, I am an Aquatic Educator for the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission and have been running an afterschool fishing club for kids in grades 3-8 and have been teaching families with children ages 5 & up how to fish. I have a BS in Biology and was Certified to teach Middle Grades and High School Science and I have a Master’s Degree in Education with the concentration in science. I taught in public schools and private schools and then started the education programs at the Pisgah Center for Wildlife Education for preK & up where I continued to work with outdoor education for kids until the flood in 2021. I will retire January 1, 2025 and am looking for part time work with children Read more and babysitting and or nanny work would be gratifying and fun. I have had background checks and been fingerprinted in previous employment. I am 1st Aid and CPR certified. I have also raised my own child so I have experience with babies. Most evenings I have available as well as the weekend and my day shift availability jumps around a little so I would just need to coordinate schedules. At the end of the year I will retire and my schedule will totally be open to sit. So, contact me if you need a date night sitter or part time hours.
