Hello! My name is Melissa Pruitt. I am 23 years old and currently in school pursuing my Bachelors degree in Psychology. I have been babysitting for 12 years now and have worked with many different families with children of all ages. I feel comfortable caring for all ages! I have a cat and have no problem with other animals as well. I am certified in Adult and Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED by The American Red Cross. I have volunteered in summer camps, have been a captain for dance teams, have looked after children with disabilities, and have helped out and worked in a 3-5th grade classroom. I love to work with children and am very responsible and reliable. I am hoping to find a family who could use my assistance this summer!

Melissa babysat our crazy rambunctious 4 boys for over 1 1/2 years and she is a complete delight! Melissa is seriously one of the best sitters I have ever had - she is clean, reliable, on-time, sweet, completely cares about the children she watches, likes to have fun with them and still holds her head up on days when the kids drive her completely nuts. Its tough to find someone who you can completely trust and Melissa is just that. You would NOT be disappointed hiring her. xoxo!
