A little bit about me

Hello my name is Alyssia. I’ve recently finished nannying for a family that has two little girls. I worked with them for over a year and a half . Unfortunately they relocated to a new state. My schedule is now open and flexible. I can provide references upon request. Your child's safety is my primary concern ! I also have relilable transportation. I started volunteering at daycares since I was 14 years old , then began babysitting eventually becoming a full time nanny. I've worked with children who have special needs as well as multiples and different age groups from 6 weeks old to 13 years old. This isn't work for me it's my passion I want to work in the childcare field. I enjoy doing crafts , playing outdoors. It keeps the kids busy. I also can handle meal preparation as well as light housekeeping. I love pets so if you have any that won't be an issue. I also speak Spanish as well. I have references upon request.

A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Melanie, a dedicated nanny with 8 years of childcare experience and a passion for child development. I’m currently earning my degree in Clinical Psychology and Behavioral Neuroscience, which helps me support children’s emotional and developmental growth. My journey began with 4 years of volunteer work in nurseries and community settings, followed by 4 years of professional nannying for six amazing families. I’ve cared for kids of all ages, including newborns, multiples, and children with developmental, behavioral, and speech differences. My approach is respectful, child-centered, and inspired by Montessori and child-led learning. I’m happy to help with meal prep, schoolwork, and light housekeeping. I’m fluent in English and Spanish, have reliable transportation, am a non-smoker, and love pets. My goal is to support your family, ease your routine, and help create more time for connection. Background checks available upon request.
