Hi there! I'm Mel Barnes, a dedicated and experienced caregiver in addition to being a freelance live comedy producer. I bring years of hands-on experience to families seeking reliable and compassionate child care -- from my early days of babysitting at the age of 13 to becoming a seasoned caregiver, I've had the privilege of working with children of all ages, including infants.
