About Mel

Experience: 1 yr

Nurturing young minds and contributing to their bright futures is my passion. With one year of experience caring for children of all ages, I bring a patient, creative, and friendly approach to childcare. I have some college education and maintain current certifications in CPR and First Aid. I enjoy engaging children in outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities. I am comfortable caring for up to two children and always follow the parents' lead when it comes to household rules and preferred communication methods. I provide regular updates via text or phone call, and I am happy to discuss your child's day at pickup. (I am currently attending Howard University.)

Both me and my wife work incredibly demanding jobs spread geographically across Houston and we were blessed to have Mel help us with our crazy logistics for our two boys (9 and 5) throughout the last summer when she was home from college. She picked our boys up from different camp locations and drove them home or to after camp activities from West Houston to Galleria. She was prompt, safe transporting the boys, flexible with changing locations and schedules, communicative, and great with the boys. Couldn’t recommend Mel enough and we are so thankful she was able to help us survive a logistically hectic summer!
