Hello, fam! :) My name is Melanie, I'm 38 years old, friendly, optimistic, driven, warm, nurturing, and I absolutely love learning! I held my first job babysitting 3 elementary school age children while I was in high school - I spent 4 nights/week at their house, prepared dinner, drew their baths, tucked them in bed, woke them up in the mornings with a song, prepared breakfast, packed lunches, got them dressed and motivated for school, and walked them to the bus stop. I learned then just how much fun and rewarding it can be! I've had several shorter term babysitting/nanny/housekeeping/personal cheffing jobs since then, and I've also been working as an office manager for a seasonal company (6months to 1 year of down time, I have used nanny/babysitting jobs to fill in!) for the past 12 years while managing my own household and, for the past 2 years, my 2 Read more step sons. The oldest son has Spina Bifida and I have gained so much appreciation for parents with special needs children, and I don't shy away from that at all. I say all of that to say, I know what it's like to be busy and benefiting from an extra hand to accomplish your goals for your family! I'm relocating to East San Diego in February and am looking forward to the opportunity to plug in with a family or two soon after I get settled! Integrity, safety, nurturing, and guidance are my strengths, and I think it's important to laugh along the way!
