I've raised 3 amazing sons and am now a grandmother to 2 adorable toddlers that don't live nearby. Did spend a lot of time before my move to the desert with grandson this past year (which was his first year), so I am still very comfortable with babies/toddlers. Love spending time with children. I have a background as a Medical Assistant (from years back) and will be obtaining a new CPR cert. soon. I also love crafts and artistic things and love to garden, hike, swim and cook. Would love to spend more time with children as I enjoy their inquisitive minds and simple pureness. Looking for part time care or on call for an evening or weekend out. I am semi retired with a background as a Retail Shop Owner, private cook/caterer, events planner and have a lot of energy and free time that I would love to devote Read more to caring for your baby/toddler and or children. My rates are negotiable - depending on the age of the children.

I was very pleased with Melissa's services! She was well prepared, organized, on-time and had a very calm, friendly demeanor. I liked the fact that she brought games to play with my girlfriend's son so that he would spend less time playing video games. She also watched him at the pool and everything went fine with that. Finally, it was good that she responded promptly when we texted her for updates while we were out. All in all, a very good experience and I would not hesitate to hire Melissa again!
