Melanie is amazing. Being a first time mom, I was nervous about leaving our son with someone new. As soon as I met Melanie, my anxieties subsided. She is warm, relaxed, and confident. We had her baby sit our 14 month old son for a few months and we loved her from day one. She played, read, and danced with him everyday and was just so good with our son. Melanie is amazing, punctual, hardworking, and experienced. I would recommend her to anyone who need a great nanny, educator and more.
