I love taking care of kids because they are so loving and easy to love. There's so many new things for them to learn and it's fun helping them explore. When I take my son to the playground usually all the kids swarm to us. Their moms are usually on their phones because they are exhausted so I love just coming in and helping and playing with them. I really do enjoy engaging with them and speaking positive words over them because they really need that growing up. We as parents can't do it alone and it definitely takes a tribe.

Melissa was exceptional watching our 2-year-old in Tahoe - our daughter had a couple great days with her and was so happy. Highly recommend her for her amazing care and attention; we feel like we really lucked out finding Melissa!
