A little bit about me

Hello!! My name is Melanie and I moved to Florida last month. I graduated college with a degree in Early Childhood Development back in 2005. I am CPR/First Aid certified. I have 2 almost grown children ages 17 and 21. I recently worked at a fitness center where I was the manager of their childcare department. I truly loved my job. I enjoyed seeing the kids excited to see me when they walked in.

I worked at this facility for 3 years before making the move here. In that time, I turned a drab room into a place where kids can be creative and explore and use their imagination. I enjoyed making up games, doing crafts, and just hanging out with them. I created bonds with them and also with their parents, which is really important to me.

In my free time, I enjoy shopping, crafting, lounging, and trips to Disney and Universal. I am an open book. Message me and ask me anything! I am looking for full time employment to get me back on my feet after divorce. Hope to hear from you!!

"Ms. Melanie was a FAVORITE among our kiddo and all others at the gym child-care center she managed. We were all sad to see her relocate out of the state. We also had her watch our 2 yr old through some crazy hours of a wrestling season of an older child. It was such peace of mind to have a ‘grown up’ with him rather than the other younger highschool/college age sitters we’ve had. Melanie has a calm, fun, yet no-nonsense approach to navigating the wilds of toddler impulses. Her hear is without a doubt for the betterment of the kids under her care. We still miss her."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Worked as a childcare manager at a fitness center for the past 3 years. I was responsible for over 100 children that came into my care while their parents used the gym. The ages ranged from 6mos-11yrs.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love to swim and previously taught swim lessons as well. I love doing crafts and coming up with fun activities. I love going out and exploring.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I enjoy being around kids. They fill a void that I have now that my children are independent and don’t need me as much as they did when they were little.

My experience with special needs children...

I am familiar with kids with autism, feeding tubes, and speech delays. I also helped children that needed extra attention with growth delays.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I’ve never been a nanny, but in my previous position I built bonds with the children I saw almost every day. My favorite moment was after being off for a few days and then coming in and hearing a bunch of kids yell my name in excitement that I was there. It’s so heartwarming to know that they enjoy being with me and trust me as well.

Babysitter Available in Orlando, FL: Jordan W.

I am a 23 year old young woman in Orlando with experience in nannying young children (4-12), as well as being a day time camp counselor for preschool-1st grade age children. I have experience with mid-high functioning autistic children and consider myself patient and understanding to children's individual needs. I do have boundaries that I will enforce with children (ie "No means no"), but I understand that child care is full of pivots and adapting to day to day challenges. I love to be playful with children, as well as enrich them with learning opportunities whenever possible. I am looking for a family that aligns with my values and respects me as a care taker for their children!
