A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Melinda, I have my bachelors degree in early childhood education from Ferris State University. Prior I received my associates degree in early childhood education from Delta College as well. I have plenty of experience with children ages birth-12 years. Previously I worked at a daycare center for 5 years before becoming a full time nanny. I have been a full time nanny since 2012. I moved to Florida in 2025. Working with children is my passion and very rewarding career. I take initiative in implementing age appropriate activities that will engage and enhance their cognitive, sensory, creativity, social and motor skills. I enjoy taking children on outings to the park, museums, gardens, zoo, library, splash park, educational activities, etc. As always with the parents permission. I treat all children equal and put their safety first. Teaching young ones to be kind and respectful to others. Overall fun, friendly and nurturing caregiver. Hope to hear from your family soon!
