About Melissa
Experience: 3 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
I am a newly graduated EMT student. I am certified in CPR and BLS. I am fluent in both English and Spanish. I have my own car that is reliable with a clean driving record. I would describe my personality as loyal, empathetic, patient, and open-minded. Most people don't think patience is the most important skill for a child but they don't understand that kids are trying to navigate their own emotions and thoughts as they grow. I'd describe my personality as determined, open-minded, and empathetic. I enjoy working with kids because I love making people smile and laugh and a child's laughter heals the soul. In my spare time, I like to draw. I'm a very artistic person , I am always making handmade gifts and exploring new arts and crafts with kids. One thing you should know about me is I care for kids like if they were my own. Seeing how the world has become so dark and inhumane especially to children, I would go over and beyond to make sure the ones I care for, are safe and sound.

I had the pleasure of hiring Melissa as a babysitter during our vacation in Indian Wells, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. Melissa came to our resort two days in a row to care for my 9-year-old, who is typically reluctant to be away from me. From the moment Melissa arrived, she put both my child and me at ease with her warm, kind, and sweet demeanor. Melissa went above and beyond to ensure my child had a fantastic time, engaging in a variety of activities that included playing games, swimming, and other fun adventures that made our vacation even more special. It was clear from the start that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with my child, and she was attentive to their needs and comfort level throughout the entire experience. As a single mom, having someone I could trust with my child was invaluable. Melissa's ability to quickly build trust allowed me to enjoy some much-needed relaxation and adult time, knowing that my daughter was in excellent hands. My daughter, who is usually quite shy, warmed up to her almost immediately and looked forward to spending time with her each day. Melissa's professionalism and friendly nature made the whole experience seamless and enjoyable. We all felt very comfortable with her, and I truly appreciated her reliability and dedication. If you're in need of a trustworthy and caring babysitter, I highly recommend Melissa. She made our vacation more enjoyable, and we would definitely hire her again.
