A little bit about me
Hello! Mellie Poppins at your service! I have been a nanny for 9 years now but before that I worked as a counselor at a therapeutic school for children with multiple needs using my degree in psychology (focusing on children). I made the decision to change careers 9 years ago and I only wish I made the decision sooner! This is my passion. Some say it is my calling. I thrive on routine and structure and love to incorporate art, music, nature and LOTS of reading into the day. I'm very creative, love to cook, adore animals and will leave you feeling comfortable enough to leave your prized possession(s) in my care! I am CPR and first aid certified, vaccinated, have my own transportation, non smoker.
Please reach out to discuss your childcare needs!

"Mellie is a great nanny, anyone would be lucky to have her! Mel has worked for us every Friday (and other days when needed) for 2 years now. She treats our 4 children (3/4 have ADHD) like her own. She always has a plan for the day, really does read a ton to them daily, and does pre-planned crafts and activities. We love her focus on the kids with eating healthy, reading, and being outside in particular. Mel happily adheres to our rule about no technology (iPads/TV) during the week. She even has gone to our kids sporting events to support them! They love her and look forward to a “Ms. Mellie Friday”. Mel is kind, respectful, reliable, and cares deeply for her kids. I never worry when I leave them with her, and that, to me, is one of the most valuable thing a parent can ask for in a childcare provider."
