Hello! My name is Melanie Ruocchio and I recently graduated from the University of Nevada, Reno with a bachelor's of science in psychology. I first began nannying/babysitting eight years ago. Within that time, I've cared for children aged six months to thirteen, with safety always being my number one priority. I strive to ensure the kids I work with are in a positive environment and often love to bring arts and crafts along with me. I have gained experience over the years transporting children to and from school, activities, and playdates, and am an extremely reliable driver. I also enjoy cooking and cleaning, as well as assisting with homework or school projects. Aside from my years of nannying experience, I was previously a dance instructor for kids aged three to thirteen. At this time, I was responsible for ten to twenty children at a time. I created an enriching environment Read more that was fun and uplifting for my students. While I've worked several other jobs, the role of a nanny/babysitter has consistently been my favorite throughout the years as I've always had a passion for working with children. I look forward with great enthusiasm to the opportunity to work with kids again.
