I have a full time job right now but I am interested in babysitting. If you're looking for a fun, interactive, very experienced nanny - look no further!! I traveled as a live-in nanny for six years. I have watched children from new born to 18. I have aided with completely healthy kids as well as children with severe handicaps. I love to play, do arts and crafts, run around, cook and I will be happy to help them with homework. I love animals as well. I am very versatile and will adapt to whatever you want to throw my way. I lived with a family in France for a year so my French isn't bad. I am entering the medical field at VCU with the hopes of working with children with disabilities. I have been working with a boy with down syndrome for the past three years. I have helped with other disabilities as well, such as autism and FAS. I would love to give you all any other information that you would like so please feel free to contact me! Thanks. :)

    Melissa has worked for us for over a year and my kids LOVE her! I've been so happy with her dependability, punctuality, care, and love for the kids. She specifically works with my son with special needs and he has made incredible physical and mental progress with Melissa's help. We love her!
