About Melissa
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi my name is Melissa, I am 29 and born and raised in Northern VA. I recently moved to Richmond 7 months ago from Williamsburg for my job as a Territory Sales Representative with Pepperidge Farm. I come from a huge Irish catholic family with 31 first cousins, most of whom I've babysat and I have been a babysitter to several different families through out my career for extra money. I played D1 basketball at Rider University and participated in a lot of volunteer events at elementary schools in the area. I am a hardworking, dedicated, organized individual with a big heart. I am starting a personal organizing company and weirdly love to clean (I can always help with chores while I'm there!) I have 6 weddings to attend in 2017 and am looking to make some extra money on the weekends and week nights. I currently live in Scotts Addition with a very flexible work schedule!

I am the mommy to a 7 year old, rambunctious little boy and his brand new 3 month old sister. Finding a good sitter has been such a hassle because of the age gap between the two. Melissa was able to juggle keeping my son entertained, while giving my baby the attention she needs. It is so hard to feel comfortable and cozy leaving my precious little ones with anybody, but I felt like I was still there when Melissa was watching them. She kept me updated with texts and pics, and she didn't mind my phone calls asking for constant updates (I forgot how hard it was to leave my new baby at home. It's been 7 years! Ha ha). Not only was she great with the kids, but I came home to a basket of folded laundry, an empty dishwasher, homework done, and dinner cooking. I cannot recommend her enough!! She is a godsend in last minute situations. I hope this review is helpful... don't get too attached!! She's my favorite :)
