Melissa J.

Melissa was with us for two years. She joined us when our son was just three months old, and from the very beginning, she provided exceptional care, love, and support. I was never worried about safety with Melissa. She is like a second mom to my son. She's the kind of nanny who goes with the child's flow, but also keeps safety boundaries in place and helps create a sustainable system to ease transitions between her care and ours. I trusted her to take my son out and about, drive him around, go to events and playgrounds, etc. She was always actively engaged with him and talking to him. Unlike with other nannies, I never had to tell her to get off of her phone, turn the screen off, interact more with my child, or inform her of what he needs at any given time. She is very safety conscious, focused on education, and helpful. Melissa regularly helped with household tasks like emptying the dishwasher, doing laundry, and vacuuming. She made everything tidier than she found it. When we hired Melissa, one of her references said that Melissa was the type of nanny who will somehow magically be able to keep the baby's socks on and I have found that to be true. At times, she has been more able to do various things to my son than I have (nail clippings, trying particular new foods, etc.). She also did seasonal and age appropriate crafts, which I think is very sweet. Melissa will make your life easier and give you a sense of peace that your little one is very well cared for.
