As a former NISD teacher experienced in science, social studies, and English, and now a full-time realtor with a highly flexible schedule, I offer reliable and nurturing babysitting services tailored to your family's needs. Whether it's a busy week or a quiet one, I can provide occasional care, including overnight stays, tutoring, and pet sitting. With a background in babysitting and nannying during my college years, I maintain strong connections with families and prioritize building trusting relationships. Outside of work, I enjoy staying active outdoors and exploring state and national parks. Dedicated to community involvement, I volunteer at local animal shelters and regularly substitute at schools.

HIGHLY impressed with Melissa's ability to entertain my child! She is fantastic! Warm, kind, and extremely caring. She was on time, professional, and put us completely at ease. She consistently provided exciting activities for our 3 year old child. GREATLY satisfied with Melissa. Could NOT ask for a better experience with a babysitter.

I can't imagine not giving Melissa 5 stars! She was early to appointment. We spoke for 15 min or so while she engaged both children ages 22 months and 8 years. Her personality is infectious and upbeat! Melissa used words of praise immedietly towards my children. She sat on the floor and played with my son while she chatted with my daughter. It is obvious that she enjoys children. She kept my children entertained, happy, fed and on schedule. Before she left she gave me a report of what the children did while I was away. I was comfortable enough to leave my children with her after we spoke for a few minutes. She has excellent communication skills with both adults and children. She will certainly be a successful teacher!

Melissa is amazing with my two boys. She sits for us twice a week while I'm in class, and they can't wait for her to get here. She is extremely responsible and has great communication with me.

We interviewed Melissa and just had a wonderful feeling about her. Our son and daughter took to her with no problem. We had her babysit our son for 3 hours, they went to park and had a blast, he didn't want her to leave. We will have Melissa babysit our kids again. T,J,L,L.

Melissa has babysat for my toddler twin boys for about 1 1/2 yrs. The boys love her. She is dependable, honest, full of energy, engaging, and enthusiastic. She has accompanied me on trips, as well as stayed overnight while my husband and I have been away. Melissa is a great babysitter and mother's helper. We love her!

Melissa was great. My three girls took to her right away. She was polite and helpful. My eldest asked about her the next day. I would definitely ask her to sit for me again.
