Hi, I am a 49 year old mother of two daughters (25 & 26). I currently reside in Queen Creek, as I recently moved here from Carlsbad, Calif. I love all the children I watch, as if they were my own. I am very close to the families I work for, and am hoping to find similar families like them in the future. I love taking the children outside and doing activities everyday. Whether it be going to different parks, or just long walks in the stroller (if weather permits), if im caring for a little one. I love sports, and am pretty good at them, if I do say so myself. If you have children into sports, you will find me outside playing basketball with them, tossing around the football or kicking goals in soccer. I am pretty good at xbox too, so watch out! :) Love taking kids places where Read more they grow, and learn. Museums, libraries, and local events they might love to attend. Also a big fan of animal parks, amusement parks, pools, sporting events, and anything that keeps the kids active and having fun. Hope to hear from you soon! Take care, and God Bless. Melissa

Melissa is amazing. My kids took a liking to Melissa immediately including my 14 month old who is going through the 'stranger danger' phase. We wil definitely be using Melissa as a regular babysitter and she is the best. Our 3 year old daughter loved hanging out with Melissa and has asked for her a couple of times! The true test of how good, kind and decent Melissa is - our dog took a liking to her instantly. Dogs know best!

Melissa was a wonderful sitter!! She was dependable, energetic, and flexible. We have 3 children and she juggled their ever changing schedules without missing a beat! She picked up our children from school and drove them to various activities...basketball practice, soccer practice, dentist appointments, birthday parties, and numerous playgrounds! The kids were always on time for their activities and appointments. They loved having Melissa care for them!! She would also play card games, board games, and basketball with the kids. We highly recommend Melissa!!
