A little bit about me
Hello! Mellie Poppins at your service! I have been a nanny for 9 years now but before that I worked as a counselor at a therapeutic school for children with multiple needs using my degree in psychology (focusing on children). I made the decision to change careers 9 years ago and I only wish I made the decision sooner! This is my passion. Some say it is my calling. I thrive on routine and structure and love to incorporate art, music, nature and LOTS of reading into the day. I'm very creative, love to cook, adore animals and will leave you feeling comfortable enough to leave your prized possession(s) in my care! I am CPR and first aid certified, vaccinated, have my own transportation, non smoker.

"Mellie is a great nanny, anyone would be lucky to have her! Mel has worked for us every Friday (and other days when needed) for 2 years now. She treats our 4 children (3/4 have ADHD) like her own. She always has a plan for the day, really does read a ton to them daily, and does pre-planned crafts and activities. We love her focus on the kids with eating healthy, reading, and being outside in particular. Mel happily adheres to our rule about no technology (iPads/TV) during the week. She even has gone to our kids sporting events to support them! They love her and look forward to a “Ms. Mellie Friday”. Mel is kind, respectful, reliable, and cares deeply for her kids. I never worry when I leave them with her, and that, to me, is one of the most valuable thing a parent can ask for in a childcare provider."

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Kaya and I am currently attending ECC studying Anthropology! I hope to someday become a professor but in the meantime, I want to pursue a job with children. I think children have a beautiful way of showing us (adults ) the purest things in the world (which we tend to miss due to the stresses of adulthood) and to turn caring for them into a job is a dream for me! I love being able to use my natural silly traits and children always seem to bring the best out in me!

A little bit about me
I’m gentle and caring. I bring a lot of experience being in the child care field. Communication is a great strength of mine. Activity planning and on the spot problem solving. Always smiling and ready to start my day. Proactive and fun. I have a lot of energy and patience. Understanding of developmental issues changes and milestones. Great working with parents and teaching needs and goals for the child.
I have two dogs so I’m comfortable with pets and I love to be in the kitchen, so I’m definitely comfortable with meal prepping. I come from the family of a mixed background so culture is always fun to explore!
