About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

I have been babysitting since I was in high school - I was always the girl who preferred to stay in and make some money over the weekend rather than go out with my friends :) I continued babysitting while I was in college, mostly for local families and professors' children. After I graduated, I continued to babysit for family and friends. I am in graduate school and am looking for an opportunity to get out and re-connect a bit. This is not about the money for me - children bring me lots of joy, and I'm looking to get back in touch with my babysitting roots.

Melissa is the best! She is punctual, thoughtful and communicative. We're so thankful that we found her. Our child loves Melissa and is always excited for her to come sit.
