Temporary Nanny/Babysitter

Hi there.   I am 24 years old and I currently live in the West End of Ottawa, Canada.  I have worked as a nanny for four families over the past 2+ years with 1-4 children ranging in age from 7 months to 10 years, and I have been a babysitter for many more.  

My longest term was 10 months working for a French family living in Quebec and I have been back several times to visit as well as take care of their four children on my own anywhere from a weekend to one or two weeks at a time.  Living with them did wonders for my French skills so although I am not yet fully bilingual, I am able to communicate fairly well in French with children who speak French or who are bilingual.

I also come from a very big family (I am the third oldest child of thirteen and oldest girl!) so I have a lot of experience with, and love for children of all ages.   I love the children I care for as if they were my own younger brothers and sisters. :)

Please feel free to email me at melytha20[at]hotmail[dot]com if you are interested, and we will go from there.  
Please also refer to this page for information about my schedule, rates and availability.  

I may be interested in a long term, live-out position in the northern New Jersey area in the near future, so if you happen to live in that area feel free to keep me in mind and contact me also.  I come to New York and New Jersey somewhat frequently so it may even be possible to meet!

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Melissa C. Mielke
