We loved having Melanie care for our 8-month baby. Our case was unique in that we were flying in from NC to attend a reunion in CA. Our event was across the street from the hotel where our baby needed sitting. Melanie was punctual, professional, and kind. She instantly connected with our baby. I appreciated her idea for heating up milk bottles in the hotel (fill the sink with hot water!) When our baby was finally sleeping, she sent us a text to show us. Anyway, having Melanie there gave us peace of mind to enjoy ourselves at our event. She was just great!
