Melissa has been such a delightful find for our family. She is very personable and energetic, always positive and caring. It’s been difficult for us to find people for our profoundly autistic son - Melissa is an absolute delight, professional,caring individual that we feel very comfortable leaving our son with. And she even manages to put our afraid of everyone rescue dog at ease. Very grateful to have found her
