About Melissa

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Need Sleep? I offer overnight care for families and their new babies all over the PNW. Hiring someone to carry out all the night duties while you get some much needed rest is imperative to your physical and mental health. I have decades of experience with newborns. Supporting moms is a passion of mine. I support community and uplifting the entire household while focusing care on your baby. I am an excellent communicator. I understand all the baby basics like safe sleeping practices, a variety of feeding and bottle styles. I am really great at soothing even the fussiest babies. Colic to reflux, I'm here to make your baby as comfortable as possible. If you're breastfeeding I bring you baby or take away the pumped milk as you do whatever's best for you. And imagine, while you're asleep, the bottles are sterilized, the baby changing station is stocked, the baby's laundry is folded etc. You wake up to a happy baby feeling rested. It's the best self care for healing postpartum moms.

Melissa is SO great and I would recommend her to anyone! She’s punctual, dependable, and so good with my baby. She takes the time to listen to my instructions for my baby as she understands every mom has different preferences on the care of their child. She sends updates and cute baby pictures while she’s babysitting, which is so great!! She has watched my two month old twice so far in a month. I will definitely be hiring her to do more in the future!
