A little bit about me

My name is Melanie and I am 23 years old. I am very passionate about nature, animals, and art. I have many years of experience working with children, from teaching swim lessons to nannying. I currently stay at home with my two children, two (almost three) and six, but am looking to get back into working full time now that the summer is coming up and they will be busy with their activities. I am an advocate for gentle parenting, so I would take a kind and gentle approach with your children to help them reach developmental milestones and grow into their personalities. Because of my experience in child care and with my own children, I have many ideas for sensory play, outdoor play, and rainy days stored in my back pocket. I also have a dog, cat, and reptiles at home so I am comfortable with any and all pets your family may have.
