Melanie Lynbrook
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Melanie, and I am an experienced and qualified caregiver with a genuine passion for providing exceptional care. I hold a bachelor's degree in early childhood education, which has equipped me with a strong foundation in child development and effective teaching techniques. Over the past four years, I have had the privilege of working with children of various ages, ranging from 3 years to 14 years old. Throughout my diverse experiences, I have served as a dedicated caregiver in multiple roles, including a teachers assistant, summer camp counselor, program counselor, after-school specialist, and future teacher. My expertise extends beyond childcare, as I am also adept at caring for pets and providing household services. I understand the importance of maintaining a safe and nurturing environment for both children and animals, and I am committed to ensuring their well-being. One of my key strengths is my ability to create engaging and fun activities that promote learning and development. I believe that children thrive when they are actively involved and excited about what they are doing. I take pride in designing age-appropriate activities that stimulate creativity, critical thinking, and social interaction. Reliability, flexibility, and responsibility are qualities I prioritize in my caregiving role. Parents can trust that I will be punctual and dependable, ensuring a smooth experience for both the child and the family. I understand that each child is unique, and I strive to be adaptable to their individual needs and preferences. As a caregiver, my goal is to provide a nurturing and supportive environment where children feel safe, happy, and encouraged to explore their interests. I value open communication with parents, and I am always ready to discuss any concerns or share updates on the child's progress. In summary, my qualifications, experience, and passion for caregiving make me an excellent candidate for the Urbansitter app. I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for children, pets, and assist with household services.

Hello! I am an artist with my Master's of Fine Arts in Acting from Yale, mother of two school-age children, and I have lived in NYC for four years. I'm happy around shy or high-energy children. I love finding ways to reach them that make them feel accepted and in a trusting environment. I love imaginative play, keeping schedules, and helping with homework. Siblings are great, too! Looking forward to meeting you and your kiddos! I absolutely love working with children! When I lived in Texas, I founded a children's theatre camp in Texas for ages 5-18. I developed curriculum, managed scheduling and instructed every class. I have worked as a nanny for over a decade before having children of my own and now take part-time work. Some of my favorite jobs included two brothers, ages 4 and 11 who enjoyed playing adventure make-believe and basketball, respectively, who I nannied for 3 times a week for about a year before graduating. I also loved my time as a nanny for three brothers, ages 6, 9, and 12 who had packed schedules to keep after school: practicing piano, doing homework and playing soccer outdoors, who I watched for over a year. I will also never forget the family who lived in my building here in new york, whose daughters - ages 4 and newborn I watched at least once a week, sometimes more, sometimes just coming over to play and visit; ballet, painting, storytelling, and going on adventures full of imagination and play were all part of the itinerary - all while keeping to the required schedule for feeding and bedtime, of course. :) Most importantly, I have 3 siblings, including two younger brothers, both of whom I adore. I am older than the youngest by 7 years, so by the time I was 13 I not only began babysitting professionally but also proved both my responsibility and joy to play on a constant basis as I watched over my brothers. I have an 11 year old niece who is the apple of my eye. I was 16 when she was born, and my sister worked full time, so my primary job in high school was to come over after school and take over for my mom and watch my niece for the day, starting when she was a newborn to around 2.5 yrs old at 2-3 times a week for long afternoons until my sister came home. I absolutely loved it!

Rachel seemed very sweet, caring, and professional. My daughter warmed to her right away! I'd definitely hire her again.
