Hi families! My name is Melany, and I’m a CPR & First Aid certified nanny with over 10 years of experience caring for children of all ages from infants to school-aged kids. Working with children has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I truly enjoy helping little ones learn, feel safe, and have fun. Parents describe me as warm, patient, and very responsible. I always arrive on time, communicate clearly, and care for every child as if they were my own family. I’m also an international psychology student, which helps me understand child behavior, emotional development, and how to support kids with gentle, positive guidance. What I offer: • CPR & First Aid certified • 10+ years of childcare experience • Calm, nurturing personality • Strong communication and reliability • Experience with bedtime routines and creative play • Comfortable with pets (I love animals!) I would love to support your family and create a safe, fun environment where your child feels happy and cared for. Looking forward to meeting you!

Kind, nurturing, dependable mom 😊 here. New born to teenagers, I've been there and cared for them all. Experienced with ASD, ADHD, and deaf children. Multiple children, twins and care at events. Skilled at organization, household management, travel planning and project management. CPR, First Aid, Fire, Safety, Earthquake Response Trained / Cert. Non-smoker. TDAP, MMR, Flu up to date; as well as all other current vaccines. I enjoy teaching my autistic grandson, hanging out with my deaf daughter, or working on an engineering project. 🤗 I can sew on buttons and make minor repairs in clothes. I am fantastic at fabric paint, arts and crafts, etc. I like organizing, cleaning and cooking. Used to live on a farm growing up, there is no pet in your home that would intimidate me. * Special note: I am a living kidney donor to my friends son in 2013. I prefer not look after children who are very ill. If your child is running a fever, vomiting, or has just begun a raspy cough I would expect you pass me by; I will not show up to your home in this manner as well. Thank you for honoring my request. "If you want to touch the past, touch a rock. If you want to touch the present, touch a flower. If you want to touch the future, touch a life."
Hi! My name is Karina, I am a part time nanny, part time elementary school art teacher, and a part time musician. I’ve been nannying the same kids for 6 years now, and it’s my biggest joy. However; I’m looking for some occasional extra hours. Would love to help your family out and watch your kids so you can go out and enjoy a date night, or even give you just sometime to yourself. I have been babysitting and nannying kids for 15 years now, and nothing really makes me happier.
“Karina took care of our 4-month old on short notice, and as our first non-family sitter. She was super responsive, friendly, confident, and was great with our son and our dog. We are very grateful that she helped us feel comfortable taking a night for ourselves! Would 100% work with her again.”
