Mesha applied to our posting on SC for daytime nanny care. We were in despite need at the time. Which is why I was happy to find someone local and experienced in child care. She was willing to help and even met my son before starting her first full day. While she cared for my son I did not hear a cry all day. She was amazing with him. So it was a bit odd when after we discussed in-person her availability for the following week she texted me out the blue that she was unavailable for childcare. Mesha only worked two weeks with us when she abruptly quit. When I asked her if everything was alright she did not respond. No other explanation was given and it was a bit odd. She is retired and older which I thought it would make her a good fit.

Mesha nannied for us one day per week for the last 4 months. She was always had a positive and upbeat attitude, was on time, kind, respectful and most importantly showed my daughter lots of love. I would recommend Mesha if you are looking for someone to care for your child!

Mesha was great with our daughter. She felt safe with her and she did a great job following our infant daughters cues. Unfortunately, Mesha did not return after a few visits and would not communicate why. My gut tells me she wasn’t comfortable communicating with me updates about my daughter when she was present with her, especially when I had to leave for work. I asked for regular text updates (when she naps, eats, pees and poops) on all the things any new parents needs to know to ensure the health and wellness of their child - I guess I was asking for too much. Honestly, these days, parents like to be informed about their child as often as possible. I hope she finds a family who fits her style as much as they fit her expectations.

Mesha a great nanny. We had her for four months. The only reason I gave her a three instead of a five. She quit without notice and we had to scramble to mange our schedule while looking for another Nanny. Two week notice is appreciated and encourage with any job.

Mesha has been watching my kids for 2 years. She can handle anything. We have 3 kids, 4 years old and under (the youngest is 6 months), and I feel totally confident leaving them with Mesha. She always make sure the kids stay safe, have fun, and behave well. She always consults us about our rules and preferences whenever a question arises. She has always been punctual and responsive. I would recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat.
