Melanie $35 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Melanie, and I’m a mother and educator with over 20 years of classroom teaching experience. I currently work as a middle school teacher librarian, where I help students learn, explore their interests, and develop a love of reading. I bring patience, warmth, and a caring approach to working with children. As both a parent and teacher, I understand how important it is for families to find someone who helps their children feel safe, comfortable, and supported. I enjoy reading with children, helping with homework, and encouraging creativity through engaging activities. I also speak English and Spanish
