Meet Melissa

My name is Melissa and I am a stay-at-home mom for my 20-month-old son, Wyatt. We enjoy going to the story times at the local public libraries; playing educational, age-appropriate games; going to many of the SCFD free days; reading; and going for walks. We are having lots of fun together and now that Wyatt is a little older, I have started sitting for other children in addition to watching my son. Aside from watching my own son, I've been babysitting for additional children since last October. Prior to having my son, I worked in the accounting and finance field for a large, global consulting and outsourcing firm. I decided to leave my position while on maternity leave because I thought it would be the best thing for my son. My plan is to continue to care for him full time until he is in grade-school. I successfully completed the Read more Pediatric CPR and Safety course at Lutheran Medical Center prior to having my child. The course is recommended for anyone living with or caring for infants and children. It provides an overview of adult, child and infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques and choking, and teaches participants about burns, falls, poisoning, car seats and other safety information.

Melissa has been great for us. We needed a sitter last minute and she was available and attentive to our 17 month old daughter. She brought her son, Wyatt, and my daughter was happy to have a little playmate. We recommend Melissa and we will be asking her to babysit for us again.

Melissa has been picking up our 7 and 9 year old daughters after school 3 days a week and watching them until we get home from work. It has been WONDERFUL to have her. She has been both reliable and flexible with which days work best and always picks up the girls on time. She has been helping them with their homework. I can't tell you how nice it is to come home from work and to find that the girls have completed their homework and got great help doing so when they needed it. Melissa has planned fun craft activities for the girls as well and has been flexible with working with various after school activities that we are planning. Melissa is very communicative and tells us all about their time together. She has a sweet and sunny disposition and my girls enjoy spending time with her. She brings along her son 2 year old son, who is a cutie-pie and my girls like to play with him.

Melissa watches my 2 year old son 1-2 days a week for me and she is awesome! He talks about she and her son all the time and will even get upset when I say that she's not coming over that day! I hope she stays with us for a long time!

My girls, ages 5 and 8, really enjoyed their time with Melissa. Her young son came with her, and the girls had lots of fun playing with him in addition to playing games and reading with Melissa. My girls are used to being cared for by family members, so I was nervous bringing in someone new to them, but I really didn't need to worry at all. We will definitely invite her back!

Melissa was very flexible, prompt, and caring with my daughter. She brought her son with her while she watched my daughter as I work from home and she provided very equal attention to both children and was able to keep an eye on my very active 15 month old as well as her son. She read books and played with both children all day which allowed me to focus on work. I would recommend Melissa for childcare services and is capable of watching multiple children.

We have hired Melissa for a weekly job, and she has been punctual, and has followed through with all my requests. My kids really like her and enjoy having her son at the house.

Melissa took all 3 of my school aged kids to the movies last week. They went out to lunch too. They had a great time and we are planning on using Melissa a lot more over the next few weeks.

We recently met with Melissa to discuss having her watch our 8 year old son. My wife and I both felt that she was a responsible, attentive and trust worthy person with great values. We ended up having her babysit for us a few days later and it went very well! She was on time (even a bit early) and my son even asked me when she could come back to watch him again. We will definitely be using her as a sitter again!
