    Melissa was phenomenal nanny with my two daughters.she cared for my children when they were six months old until they turned two years old . Melissa weaned my children from milk to regular food .she is an excellent cook and prepared and fed them only healthy meals .my children hit their milestones early mostly due Melissa's advanced university degrees in child development.my daughters were advanced with their speech & language acquisition,fine and gross motor skills.she taught them through multi sensory activities.my daughters first words were happy and love Melissa was excellent at potty training my eldest daughter.i highly recommended Melissa as a nanny since she made such a fabulous impact on my daughters when they were very young.my daughters are so successful in first and second grade because of Melissa .our family would give her 100 stars instead 5 stars
