Experience: 15 yrs
Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, a calling I have pursued for the past 15 years. My approach to care is rooted in patience and creativity, ensuring every child feels supported and inspired. I hold current First Aid Training and CPR Training certifications to ensure a safe environment for your little one. I enjoy engaging children through educational games, puzzles, and hands-on crafts. Whether I am preparing nutritious meals or tidying up, I am happy to assist with household tasks. I am very comfortable enforcing your established house rules and prioritize clear communication, providing daily updates via text or verbal check-ins at pickup. With a reliable car and a love for pets, I am ready to become a dependable partner in your child's daily life. I look forward to building a meaningful connection with your family.
Mel was absolutely fantastic! She was the first care taker I ever trusted to care for my boys, so leaving them for the first time and transitioning from maternity leave back to work was a huge step for me. Mel made that transition feel so much smoother and easier than I ever could have imagined. She was kind, dependable, attentive, and genuinely cared for my boys. Knowing they were in such good hands gave me peace of mind while I was at work, and that meant more to me than I can put into words. I’m so grateful for the kindness and care she gave them and would wholeheartedly recommend Mel to any family looking for someone wonderful to care for their children!
