A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Melanie, and I have over 25 years of experience working with children of all ages, from infants to school-aged children.

My childcare career includes serving as a Childcare Director at the YMCA, and I currently work as a Special Education Teacher Assistant with BOCES, where I’ve been helping children thrive for over three years. I have also provided nanny care for multiple families, caring for children from infancy through age five.

As a mother of three grown daughters, I understand firsthand the importance of finding someone who is patient, dependable, and genuinely caring.

My passion has always been helping children learn, grow, and feel safe. I strive to create a nurturing, fun, and engaging environment where every child feels loved, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Whether we’re reading stories, exploring outdoor,doing crafts or learning through play.

I would love the opportunity to meet you and your little ones. Contact info
