Hi, I’m Melanie! I love working with kids and really enjoy creating a fun, safe, and positive environment for them. I have experience working in a special education summer school program, which I really enjoyed and found very rewarding. I also have experience babysitting for family, friends, and coworkers. Additionally, I volunteered with AWANAS at my local church for multiple years, where I had the opportunity to work with and be involved with kids on a regular basis. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with children, and I’m excited to continue gaining experience through Sitter Tree!

Hi! My name is Layla , and I’m an experienced and caring childcare provider with a background in daycare settings. I’ve worked with children of various ages, where I’ve helped with daily routines, supervised playtime, prepared meals, supported early learning activities, and ensured a safe, nurturing environment. My daycare experience has taught me patience, organization, and how to handle different personalities and situations calmly and responsibly. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and have fun in a structured but loving environment. During my time in the daycare they helped me get my cpr and first aide certifications.
