Melanie recently helped our family bridge the gap between mom returning to work and our 4/5m old starting daycare. She was absolutely fantastic. She is caring, kind and knowledgeable when it comes to taking care of infants. She took him to the library and he absolutely loved it. Any family would be lucky to work with Melanie.
