My name is Melanie, mom to a college student. I genuinely love and enjoy being around kids, whether it be teaching them about nature, animals, colors, or how to walk and talk, about manners, kindness, sharing, health, how to clean up and every day life. To see what piques their curiosity as they develop is neat and interesting to watch. For the last 5 yrs l've cared for several infants, toddlers, and children part time both short term and long term and established great relationships with the families. I've been told I'm honest, patient, communicative, flexible, empathetic, caring, reliable, creative, and fun. Safety is #1.. I'm attentive, alert, cautious, and responsible. 90% of kids had zero screen time while in my care. I offer school pick-ups, driving kids to appts, activities, classes, and sports practice, helping with homework and reading. For fun Im big on going outside on walks and Read more adventures to parks, playing games, making arts/crafts, laughing, being silly, and having fun. I own a 2017 Honda Accord Sedan, no dents, accidents, or tickets. I have a valid driver's license, auto insurance. I'm available for part time or one time jobs. Monday - Friday 8:30am to 7pm up to 35 hrs/week. And occasional weekends and overnights. Please send me a message for a potential opportunity and we can chat to see if we're a good fit. Thank you very much, Melanie

We had the pleasure of having Melanie as our babysitter on short notice just recently, amidst the busy and stressful holiday season, and she exceeded all our expectations. Melanie quickly oriented herself and seamlessly integrated into our household, then took charge keeping everyone engaged and entertained. Her pleasant demeanor and stellar professional attitude made her an instant favorite with the child and put us at ease. We are convinced that Melanie knows some kind of magic—she even got our child to put down his screen and join in on the fun. We were able to have a worry-free evening outside of the house, and our kid shared his delight, asking when Melanie will be back to hang out with him. We highly recommend Melanie for anyone in need of a reliable professional to hold the fort. Thank you, Melanie, for your outstanding service
