About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

Did your nanny call out sick or needs a day off? Do you need a reliable date night and weekend sitter? Have a newborn and need overnight postpartum doula care? Have school age children that need an adventure day outside? Hi! That's me! I provide emergency, short term and occasional coverage to many families, not just in Washington but around the country. I work 24/7 providing childcare to those needing a less traditional, more flexible caretaker. After decades of experience from Preschool teacher to Medical Assistant to Nanny, I love helping the entire family and building community. When my families don't need childcare they reach out for pet and housesitting. My services include even the furbabies. I've helped manage many households while parents enjoy an entire weekend kid free! We have the best time. I love what I do and love the families I work with. Please reach out to me day or night. Thank you!

Melissa is a wonderful babysitter and we are so thankful for her help. My daughter was comfortable with Melissa right off the bat. She is kind, communicative, and great with kids and pets. I highly recommend her!
