A little bit about me
Hi! Im Melanie. I’m a caring, dependable, and creative nanny with over 10 years of childcare experience working with children from newborns through high school age. I also have 5+ years of experience running and leading youth camps, where I planned activities, supported social and emotional growth, and created safe, positive spaces for kids to learn and have fun. I hold a degree in Recreation Management and Leadership, which strengthened my skills in communication, organization, and creating engaging, age-appropriate experiences. I love encouraging creativity, outdoor play, and confidence while keeping routines consistent so children feel secure and supported. Families often describe me as patient, attentive, and easy to trust. My goal is to build strong, supportive relationships with both children and parents while helping kids feel happy, safe, and excited to grow every day.
