Hello! My name is Shelina, and I bring over 20 years of experience working with children, adults, and families across various educational and caregiving roles. I’ve had the privilege of working with special needs children and adults during my time at AHRC NYC, where I provided compassionate care, support, and education. Additionally, I’ve worked extensively within the NYC Department of Education, contributing to the growth and development of students for many years. Beyond that, I’ve also had experience in family crisis intervention, ensuring that I can handle sensitive situations with empathy and professionalism. I’m deeply committed to offering support that fosters growth, safety, and well-being for all individuals I work with. I am CPR certified in NJ and have driving defensive course certificate through my current employer New Concepts for Living where I am a Residential DSP Supervisor. I grew up in New York City but have been living in Bergen County for over 10 years. I have two daughters who are in college so me and my husband are finally empty nesters lol. I love all pets including reptiles. I am a non-smoker. Outside of work I freelance as a personal stylist/shopper.

Hello, I am Melody. I am a Hispanic American who loves children and has been exposed to them for a truly long time. I am reaching to about 8 years of experience in childcare in the field, including church kid classes, daycare work, and personal full-time nannying work. In more detail, I have provided engaging care for children from the ages of 18 months to 12 in church, daycare, and private home settings. Furthermore, I planned and led activities including games, arts and crafts, music (through my singing and playing guitar), and interactive learning. To add on, I managed classrooms, encouraged creativity, and fostered a fun, nurturing environment. Specific experience includes work at Mount Calvary Pentecostal Church (2017), assisting a daycare called Sunlight Kids (2019), and full-time nannying in Columbus Circle, NY (2025). Here's a review from my most recent job: "To whom it may concern, Melody Acosta was a temporary caretaker for our 18-month-old daughter for nearly 3 weeks. As two extremely time-strapped executives, my husband and I work in busy environments with high stress and rely on professional, high-performing teams. Melody was an excellent addition to our team during her time with us. Melody was extremely professional and diligent right from the start. She made time to come before the official role began to study the daily routine of our daughter. That way, she would have a head start before the role began. During her time here, she was extremely dependable with a calm and helpful demeanor. Often she would arrive early or have to stay a bit later, and did so with a pleasant, mature demeanor. Her ability to take direction, feedback, and adapt quickly also stood out. She presented a desire to meet our needs and diligently took notes to ensure completion of tasks and pivoted when needed. She was proactive, often suggesting ideas for meals or activities. With our daughter herself, Melody was very interactive, singing, reading, and spending time with her caringly and lovingly. Melody would be an asset in any workplace. Thanks. Divya Sawhney"

As a dedicated mother, I bring real-life experience, patience, and a natural nurturing touch to caregiving. I have cared for children of all ages—from infants to school-age kids—handling everything from meals and playtime to learning activities and routines. I also have experience supporting adults and seniors with daily needs, companionship, and light household tasks. Families can count on me to be reliable, caring, and respectful while creating a safe, supportive environment for their loved ones.

As the oldest of 10, I grew up caring for babies and naturally became the “second mom.” I’m now a first-time mom to my 10 week old, so I’m very experienced with newborn care like feeding, diapering, soothing, and sleep routines. I understand infant cues and create a calm, nurturing environment. I bring my baby along, offering a built-in, age appropriate playmate and a social, home like setting. I also have 9 years of pet care experience, including work as a surgical veterinary technician. Your baby will be in patient, loving, and capable hands.
