About Melissa

Experience: 20 yrs

Hi! I'm Melissa, a mom of two (a 12-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son) and the owner of a local yoga studio. Being with children fills my heart which is why I've been babysitting as a side job since I was 12 years old. I promise to bring patience, warmth, calm energy and a genuine love to your child. Along with the years of experience raising my own children, I also have experience working with kids with special needs and feel confident creating a safe and nurturing environment for all children. As a mom myself, I do schedule babysitting jobs around my own children's school and activity schedules, but I'm flexible and happy to coordinate times that work well for both your family and mine. I'm currently looking for a few side jobs to help support our family's income and would love to be considered for your babysitting needs. I can happily provide references upon request. Hope to help a few local families in need!

I cannot say enough about what an incredible babysitter and person Melissa is! She has cared for my daughter who has autism for the last few months and has been a true Godsend to our family. She is so kind and patient and loving. My daughter can be challenging and Melissa has always handled her with tremendous grace. Highly recommend her!!!
