Experience: 5 yrs
Finding a caregiver you can trust is important, and I strive to be that person for your family. My motivation stems from years of working with youth in various capacities, where I've been a leader, role model, and someone kids and parents/guardians can rely on. I am very friendly, approachable, organized and patient. I'm comfortable caring for up to three children of all ages. I can play any type of game that kids like, from sports to board games, and even online educational or video games. I'm very comfortable enforcing household rules to ensure consistency. I will communicate with you in whatever way you prefer, whether it's a quick chat at the end of the day or a written summary. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I'm excited to learn more about your family and how I can help you out!
Melinda is a complete joy! She is very responsible, reliable, communicates clearly and is good with children of all ages. She is a problem solver and intuitively knows just what to do when things don’t go as planned. She actively engages and plays with our children. Highly recommend!
