Every family’s journey is unique, and I’m here to make yours a little smoother and a lot more supported. 💛

Melissa was absolutely wonderful with my newborn! She’s gentle, patient, and clearly very experienced with infants. I felt completely comfortable leaving my baby in her care, she followed all my instructions carefully and kept me updated throughout the time she was watching him. It’s clear she truly loves what she does and cares about the babies she looks after. I would highly recommend Melissa to any parent looking for a trustworthy, caring, and reliable sitter for their little one!
