A little bit about me

Hello, I’m a young adult looking to expand my horizons. My love for children were always the biggest. I graduated high school and while in high school I majored in college credit classes in child development and human services. I have love for helping and taking care of people. However college I couldn’t afford, and got a little lost on the way. I’ve been working full time while still babysitting on the side and my heart is just not fully into a regular job like it is for taking care children. I’ve also worked at a summer day camp with ages 6-12. I have a very bubbly personality. I have tattoos but don’t let that make you judge my book cover, I’m a softy with a big heart!

A little bit about me

Hi! I'm Meli (short for Melissa), a grounded, playful, and nurturing presence who believes childhood should be slow and rooted. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish and love weaving both languages into everyday play. Children remind us to be present and find magic in simple things like a leaf or a puddle, and I love protecting that rather than rushing past it. My care for kids began as a big sister to siblings 10+ years younger, and this past year I've taught nature-based, Waldorf-inspired learning at a Forest School for nature connection & ancestral skills, ages 3-12. I'm CPR/First Aid certified and bring calm, patient supervision. I see each child as already whole, needing space and loving guidance to grow into themselves, and I'm honored to be their guide, mentor, and villager. In my free time I garden, forage, track wildlife, and practice archery. I'm looking for a family who wants a true partner in their child's growth, built on trust, consistency, and open communication.
