My name is Melissa, a vibrant and caring 23-year-old from Orangeville. I am eager to enter the world of childcare, bringing my nurturing and dedicated nature to assist your family as a babysitter, nanny or housekeeper, or even in a home daycare setting. Currently, I'm seeking a part-time position and I'm ready to start immediately. My schedule is fairly flexible, mostly available in the evening Saturdays and Sundays, and evenings on Wednesdays. However, I cannot relocate and prefer a Live-Out arrangement. My services include a broad scope of duties that will not only cater to the children but the entire family as well. I'm prepared to do light housekeeping, run errands, prepare meals for the children, do the laundry, and keep the kitchen tidy. I can also help the children with their homework, bathe and dress them, and I'm comfortable with pet care too. As a responsible caregiver, I have completed First Aid and CPR Training, which enhances my ability to provide a safe and supportive environment for your children. Although I have no professional working experience, I am comfortable with kids of all ages, from newborns to 5-year-olds, and am capable of caring for up to three children. A unique aspect of my profile is my ability to communicate in both English and Portuguese, which could be a wonderful cultural exposure for your children. One thing to note is that I am a smoker; however, I am always respectful of maintaining a smoke-free environment around children and uphold a professional code of conduct in this regard. I am very excited to embark on this journey and deliver my best to any family that brings me on board. Looking forward to being a valuable support to you and your family.
