I'm Melanie, 20 years old, born and raised in London, Ontario with Portuguese as my first language. I recently graduated from the Early Childhood Education program at Fanshawe College. In my free time, I love immersing myself in creative activities such as crafting, creating art, going outside, baking, cooking new recipes, and watching movies. These hobbies not only bring me joy but also enhance my creativity, which I incorporate into my childcare practices. I pride myself on being flexible and child-centered in all my approaches, always striving to create meaningful connections with the children and families I work with. With experience working with children aged 0-9, I am passionate about engaging with them in various ways. Whether playing games indoors and outdoors, teaching through play, or encouraging creative expression, I focus on fostering strong connections and enriching children's experiences. I am very flexible in meeting the needs of families, always open to accommodating any special requests or needs, ensuring a personalized and supportive environment for each family I work with. My adaptability in various situations allows me to provide consistent and reliable care.

I've done babysitting and taken care of all the babies and kids in my family. I've also completed courses working with children, including special needs kids.
