I had Melissa as my 6 months' old daughter's babysitter based on friend's recommendation, and was pleased to have her helping us. Not knowing what to expect for the first time hiring a babysitter so my husband and I can have some couple times out, Melissa put us at ease right away when she walked in. She easily grabbed our daughter's attention, continued with her feeding and bathed her before putting her to bed. We were pleased to find that our little one was sound asleep by her usual bed time. Melissa made it a very positive experience for us and now we know that we can have some 'us' time when needed!
