Hi! I'm Apryl. I'm 24 and have 8+ years of experience as a full-time caregiver of my younger brother. He has a rare genetic condition that limits his functions to those of a 1-year-old. Our mom is now retired and has taken over his care, so I'm looking to help take care of other kids and eventually get into the elementary education system. I enjoy reading and being creative. I'm so excited to come up with activities, crafts, and fun things to do that also promote learning. I am nurturing, attentive, adaptable, and kind; but I also know when to maintain boundaries and rules. Kids have big feelings in little bodies — bringing calmness to chaotic situations is one of my super powers! I’m excellent at reading non-verbal cues/body language, taking care of children with special needs, and knowing when little ones need some extra attention or given space. I understand the significance of choosing a caregiver that’s the right fit for your family. Your house, your rules — I will respect your routine, expectations, etc while keeping your child(ren) safe as they grow into amazing people.My extensive experience caring for my disabled brother has prepared me and given me the skills to be a reliable and competent caregiver for kids of all ages and abilities. Caring for others is part of who I am, and I'd love to be a positive part of your little ones’ day!Some of my skills and experience: - Changing diapers - Preparing meals and feeding - Transportation and car safety (buckled in properly, getting in/out, etc)- Bathing and dressing - Overall emotional and mental care (crying, tantrums, etc)- Ability to quickly adapt and stay calm during any situation and/or sudden mood change - Ability to create a safe environment that allows a child to express themselves and have fun I graduated high school in 2020 with a 3.96 GPA and completed almost two years of college. My major was Elementary Education with a 3.925 GPA. Some of the courses I took were:- Math for Elementary Teachers 1 & 2 - Instructional Technology for the Classroom - Students with Disabilities - Psychology- Sociology- And several of the general college curriculum classesI do want to mention that I am not CPR/First Aid certified yet, but I have a class scheduled for June 20th and will hopefully be after that.

Hi families,I’m Melody! I’m a warm, calm, and patient childcare professional with over 5 years of experience working with children 6 weeks- 9years old. I truly enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and creating a caring, nurturing environment where they can feel comfortable, confident, and free to be themselves.Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Reggio, Waldorf, and Montessori-inspired teaching styles. I love bringing elements of these approaches into everyday activities, especially through art, creativity, and sensory play. I enjoy creating activities that allow children to explore, get curious, use their imagination, and learn through hands-on experiences.I’m CPR/AED and Anaphylaxis trained, and I’m also a non-smoker. The safety and well-being of the children I care for is always one of my top priorities.Outside of childcare, I love reading, yoga, cooking, going for walks, and visiting farmers markets on Sunday mornings. I enjoy a slower, intentional lifestyle and love sharing that sense of curiosity and appreciation for the little things with children. Most of all, I genuinely love working with children. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow, discover new interests, and become more independent. I strive to be a dependable and nurturing presence for both the children and their families. I’m excited to get to know you more!

I have been caring for children since I was 16 years old. My childcare experience began by assisting my mother with the children she babysat, which helped me develop strong skills in supervision, engagement, and creating a safe environment for children of all ages. I earned a Bachelor's degree in Social Work and a Master's degree in Educational Leadership. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with children and families in educational and community settings. I previously worked as a Registered Behavior Technician at an autism clinic, providing individualized support to children with autism and helping them develop communication, social, and daily living skills. I have also served as a Mentor Coach, supporting educators and helping improve outcomes for young children in classroom settings. Currently, I work as a Redeploy Program Manager, where I support youth and families by coordinating services, mentoring young people, and helping them achieve positive outcomes. My background in child development, behavior support, education, and social work allows me to provide attentive, compassionate, and dependable care. I am committed to ensuring children feel safe, supported, and engaged while in my care.
