Bio
I am quite a bit older than your typical Sitter City babysitter, at 45. With age comes experience: I have been babysitting since my teenage days. As the oldest of five children, I grew up tending to babies, and now I am enjoying being a doting aunt to my seven nieces and nephews (three of whom are pictured here and two more are on the way!). I am a former high school and college English, theatre and speech teacher who loves children. I am experienced with newborns through teenagers and I love playing imaginative games. My rates are $12/hour for sleeping babies and children and $15/hour when they are awake. The photo was taken in Dallas with my niece, Lauren, and nephews Miles and Mason.

We have had Melissa babysit several times and have always been impressed with her professionalism and caring attitude. She's great with the kids and we walk out the door comfortable knowing we've left them with someone so responsible! -- Tammy H.
Melissa is great! She's always punctual and leaves nice notes of her evening with my 5 month old son. She come highly recommended. -- Jennifer J.
Melissa was great. She stopped by to meet our son before sitting with him (brought a gift as it was his birthday) and seemed very energetic and responsive. He enjoyed his time with her and she left us a log of their evening together which was a nice surprise. Highly recommended. -- Brian W.
Sorry for the delayed feedback...had trouble posting it before. Melissa is a great sitter who is very responsible and patient with my daughters, I would highly recommend her to anyone! My regret is that we haven't gone out as much as we like to, so we could have her come more often....but summer's coming and we'll have more opportunities soon! Thanks Melissa, we hope to see you again soon! -- Christine A.
Melissa has babysat twice for our 5-month old son, and we think she is wonderful! She has been very patient, kind and responsive to our son and is attentive to detail both in terms of coordinating the evening logistics and logging what our son did while we were gone. We only have the best to say and highly recommend her! -- Michelle S.
Melissa was an enthusiastic and conscientious babysitter for my 6-month-old son. She kept great track of what happened while I was gone, and seemed to enjoy her time with the baby. -- Kate B.
