About Melinda

Experience: 10 yrs

With 30+ years of experience nurturing and caring for children, I truly love making a positive difference in a child's life. After raising four amazing children-including triplets-I've spent 15+ years providing dependable, loving care for families. I hold a Montessori teaching degree and have completed coursework in Early Childhood Education and Early Child Development. I am also current in First Aid and CPR. My approach is patient, nurturing, supportive, and fun. I'm comfortable caring for one or multiple children and can help with school pick-ups, activities, homework, and light housekeeping. I also love pets! I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust and rely on, and I would love to provide your family with caring, dependable support. *I recently finished working with an Austin family and am currently available*

We hired Melinda to watch our son while we visited from out of state for a wedding. She was very easy to communicate with, responsive and punctual. She was warm and engaging with our 5 year old and had him playing games with her right away. She made us feel totally comfortable and was flexible with time. Our son said he had a great time with her! If we ever visit again, we wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!
