A little bit about me

Hey , My name is Anita Johnson and I’m a high school graduate. Even when I attended high school and now after I have always babysitted and I currently work for Uber and Lyft. So my schedule is more open because I currently make my own schedule. I’ve dealt with all age kids. Mostly newborns and ages up to 5. I’m good with all range kids though.

A little bit about me

Hi there! I'm Meli (short for Melissa), a grounded, playful, and nurturing presence who believes childhood should be slow and rooted. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish and love weaving both languages into everyday play. Children remind us to be present and find magic in simple things like a leaf or a puddle, and I love protecting that instead of rushing them past it. My care for kids began as a big sister to siblings 10+ years younger, and for the past year I've taught nature-based, Waldorf-inspired learning at White Pine Wilderness Academy, ages 3-12. I'm CPR/First Aid certified and bring calm, patient supervision. I see each child as already whole, needing space and loving guidance to grow into themselves, and I'm honored to be a guide, mentor, and villager in that process. In my free time I garden, forage, track wildlife, and practice archery. I'm looking for a family who wants a true partner in their child's growth, built on trust, consistency, and open communication.

Hello!
