About Melanie

Experience: 5 yrs

I have been around/worked with children for a long time. All of the closest adults in my life are over 30 with an average of 3 kids! Although I dont have recent* paid experience (I have lot in years prior) as I was/have been doing real estate photography, w/ where my needs are at, I wanted to fill in the gaps with this too. :) I absolutely love to be interactive w/children & plan activities! I'd describe my personality as kind, compassionate, intentional I like working with kids because they are such a JOY! I'm looking for a job that is comfortable, communicative, and easy going! I started working with kids when I did after school care in high school. My sister and I would lead Sunday school classes in middle school though and babysit! In my spare time, I like to be outside with my dogs and hangout with my friends with kids! One thing you should know about me is I have a passion for healthy family dynamics. My skills include being intentional, creative, and compassionate!

Melanie has been a God send. Needed her short term while I was injured to watch my 1 year old and 4 year old. She is easy to communicate with, so dependable, and always on time. I was worried about leaving my babies with someone other than family but Melanie made all my fears go away. The second my 4 year old wakes up the first thing he says is “when’s Melanie going to be here.” A true testament to how awesome she is. Anyone would be lucky to have Melanie in their home.
