Hi! My name is Melanie. I am currently a school teacher, but I am looking to leave the classroom at the end of the current school year. I am a mother to three amazing young adults, and a grandmother (Lollie) to one sweet grandboy. I have 25+ years in every aspect of childcare so almost nothing rattles me. I have, over my many years, developed an unshakable patience with even the most strong willed little humans. I love playing in the floor, reading stories, and exploring outside. Additionally, I am a trained newborn photographer for over 15 years. I have owned a studio for part time scheduling- and this has always been part time- working around my primary employment. So... you'd also have someone who can record all those fun daily moments for and with you... having a photographer in your back pocket comes in handy. I have worked many Read more years in the church nursery from the newborn room all the way to grade school. My greatest joy in life was raising my children and I would love the opportunity to work with a family and share my decades of experience and big heart for children. I am available every week day and some occasional nights and weekends.
