Hi! My name is Melissa and I am 39. Having a big family, I was always watching my younger cousins as the built in babysitter! I babysat all through college exclusively, and now I work at a hospital and continue to sit. I have long lasting relationships with the families I have work for and still keep in close contact! We became family, they all came to my wedding. They are older, not so much sitting, more tutoring, helping multitasking with the parents and driving them around! I have a clear background check and am CPR certified. I look forward to meeting you!
