Melinda's Bio

I have cared for my daughter who is a cancer survivor now in remission for the last 6 years, providing medical care and treatment for her cancer. I am very organized, flexible and self-sufficient, and have great character/personal references. I come from a very large family with a lot of cousins and nieces so I am very family oriented. I have 2 nieces that I have cared for in the recent months. I feel the best... More

Cristina W. says:
Melinda is always on time, very organized and checks with me regularly before and during the job. My 8 and 10 year old daughters fell in love with her from day one. She loves to talk to them and interacts with them at all times...if you want someone to just sit there and watch TV (and I don't know who would), Melinda is not your girl! She always has a positive and happy disposition. She even loves my 2 puppies... More

Nancy D. says:
Melinda arrived promptly (a few minutes early) wearing a Care.com shirt and brought a copy of her license. She was friendly and professional and we immediately felt at ease leaving her in the hotel room with our boys. They enjoyed talking to her about her dog. My husband and I had a great night on the town (we were on a vacation). A great sitter (especially for out-of-towners!).

Carolyn Z. says:
Well Melinda's reviews speak for themselves. She is beyond competent. She made me and my husband feel so comfortable we had such a nice night. We are nervous parents and we didn't worry at all. When we arrived home my son had a huge smile on his face. We are new to the area and needed a great sitter and Melinda was it. Thanks Melinda for a night out.

Kristy L. says:
My kids, ages 7 & 3, loved Melinda! Henderson is our second home and we had plans to go out when suddenly our scheduled babysitter called in sick. We turned to Care.com and was very grateful to find Melinda. She is mature, reliable, and trustworthy. She arrived early, provided copies of her driver's license and immediately developed a positive rapport with the kids. I would recommend her and will call her... More

Matt M. says:
Melinda has become my go-to sitter for my 8 and 10 year old kids. She consistently arrives early, and brings activities to share with the kids. She even brought everything to make cupcakes with my daughter last time! She is completely professional and has a wonderful, laid-back spirit about her. A parent herself, she knows how to communicate with kids and really seems to care about them. I grudgingly recommend... More

Kelly A. says:
Melinda cared for our 15 month old son while we were vacationing in Las Vegas.
She was on time, friendly and inquisitive as to our needs and wants in the care of our little man.
It is always nerve racking having a stranger care for your most precious child but she made us feel at ease as soon as she arrived. She came with her resume/reference paperwork and immediately bonded with our son.
She text us throughout...

Heather G. says:
Melinda is very professional and has a great rapport with kids. She shows up with paperwork for the adults (including drivers' license and business cards), and activities for the kids. She texts to let me know what's going on when (and not just if there's a problem) which is very reassuring on a night away. And the most important part of all, my son absolutely loves her!

The only problem is she's in high...

Clarissa C. says:
Melinda arrived 15 mins. early. Her and I had spoken a good 30 minutes a few days before we met. We texted every hour on the hour with an update. She has a very patient spirit about her. She was so easy to talk to and could relate to all of my darling daughter's needs. I will absolutely refer her to everyone I know that travels to the Vegas area. What I loved most about her is that she cared for my baby as if... More

Diana B. says:
Melinda has been taking care of my 5 month old and my six year old for almost two months now. I was very impressed to get a written "activity" report of what my baby did at what time. They say that babies "feel" a good and kind person right away. If that's true, then Melinda is absolutely it. My baby is so happy to see her every time. All smiles and giggles. Besides the activity report, Melinda always... More

Kei S. says:
This was my first time using care.com and was very anxious when I posted my offer even after I got so many responses. I got an offer from Melinda and replied to her, and amazed how she was prompt and clear, she took away all of my anxious feelings. We had phone interview with me and my 7 years old daughter, the way she talked to my daughter was very genuine and sincere. Melinda was very prepared until the date,... More

Julia M. says:
Melinda watched our daughter for 3 evenings whilst we were staying in Vegas. We are always a little wary leaving our daughter with strangers and have had mixed experiences. However both we and our daughter felt immediately at ease with Melinda. She played with our daughter both in our room and in the hotel (with our permission), checked in with us via text now and again to let us know how she was doing, and... More

Brianandjosie W. says:
Excellent caretaker! Very professional. We were visiting Las Vegas and started reaching out to potential sitters, via Care.Com. Melinda responded very promptly. We then spoke with her and discussed our daughters and plans. Melinda arrived right on time (a few minutes early actually). Immediately upon arriving, she provided us with a clear copy of her driver's license, insurance info, emergency contacts,... More

Melinda was great! She brought little snacks and games. My girls had a very good time and so did we, knowing that they were well taken care of. Thanks Melinda!
