We can't say enough great things about Melissa! We were initially worried about finding someone to look after our (then) 2-month old, and then we found Melissa! She is fantastic with infants -- and dare I say -- probably better at taking care of our baby than we are (as first time parents)!! She somehow always manages to get our daughter asleep within minutes of our leaving the apartment -- and keeps her asleep!!! Melissa is super calm, mature, and takes everything in stride, and simply does not get flustered. I absolutely have no worries whenever Melissa is around. She is also super polite and tidy and even washes the used bottles for us (without our asking)!! She is truly a lifesaver and a great babysitter! I rave about her to all our friends -- snatch her up if you can!!
