Melissa was an absolutely phenomenal vacation caregiver for our 9 month old during our trip to Park City. She took him to the library, on walks, bathed him, cooked lunch, and provided helpful updates throughout the day. It was very clear she both loves children and knows how to care for children at different ages (we saw her build relationships with our older children as well before and after skiing each day). She will be the first person we call when we plan our next trip to Park City!

If I could give her one million stars I would. Melissa took delicate care of my 10 month old & our other children age 6,7 &9.

Visiting Deer Valley from Texas 



Melissa was fabulous with our three little ones, all under the age of three. She handled everything with grace, managing their different naptimes, schedules, and meals seamlessly. She has a warm, upbeat, and genuinely loving personality, and the kids took to her right away.

Can’t wait to reconnect the next time we’re in PC!

Melissa is an OUTSTANDING nanny! No directions necessary (though she takes direction well), she is a natural with children and knows just how to engage them thoughtfully and with a sense of fun and adventure! 
My girls were completely enchanted by her on our trip to Utah, as were my husband and I! I wish I could have brought her home with me. 
She is responsible, trustworthy, kind - I can't recommend her more highly! 

My husband and our family traveled to Park City from FL for a week of vacation and needed a part time babysitter for a few days while we skied and spent time on the mountain. Melissa blew my expectations away for what we needed. As a first time Mom that had never used a babysitter outside of my own family members, it's safe to say I was a little nervous letting a "stranger" watch my 18 month old son. Any nerves I had immediately melted away when we met Melissa. She walked in and her warm personality and caring nature took over. My son received her so quickly and they embraced after only a few minutes of knowing each other! This is rare for a boy toddler who is attached to his parents! 

Melissa sent us pictures and updates through text throughout the day that made us feel comfortable being away. She followed the schedule we left her and used her experience to get through the day. She showed up on time every morning to start, and was flexible if we were a few mins late or early beyond our agreed upon end time.

Melissa even offered to take our son on some activities out of the house. We loved this idea and trusted her to do it. 

Overall I cannot speak highly enough about Melissa. Honestly I wish we lived in Park City full time so that we could use Melissa as a babysitter regularly! She's amazing and if we do come back to PC for vacation, we will absolutely be calling her again. THANK YOU MELISSA! 

Melissa is amazing! Our daughter kept talking about her the next day and all the fun they had. I would absolutely recommend her. She was very responsive before and after and she has a very kind personality. 

Melissa is the sweetest and funnest caregiver! My kids absolutely love her! She helps clean up, make food, and plays all kinds of games does fun activities with each child based on their interests. I would hire her any day in a heartbeat!

It's with much pleasure I want to recommend Melissa as a nanny. She is such a sweetheart with a big heart. Melissa demonstrates tremendous responsibility in taking care of children. She is kind, honest, trustworthy and great with children.

It is clear to me that working as a nanny is a passion for Melissa. She loves working with children, and I see this manifest in her communication skills and creative ideas for activities. She keeps the children occupied and most importantly, safe.

Ultimately, Jill is an excellent nanny because she is so trustworthy. She is always on-time and held to high responsibility. My family has never known her not to be forthcoming and honest.

We hired Melissa to watch our son full-time starting when he was around 12 weeks old. Now that he's almost a year and a half, we've decided to put our son in daycare. I cried today when we said goodbye to Mel, or "Tia Mel" as we call her. I never worried about my son while he was in her care. She loved him and cared for him amazingly. She is sweet, patient, and dependable. I don't think she called out a single day while she was our nanny. We always knew we could count on her. In the summer she would take him to swim or play with some friends at the park. She watched him in our home full-time, has reliable transportation, and didn't mind our two giant dogs. She would help with his meals, feeding him, changing him, rocking him to sleep during nap times, and taking him for walks around the neighborhood. Hiring Melissa to be your nanny and watch your kid(s) will be one of the best decisions you'll ever make. She's worth the money and I hope we keep her in our lives.

We hired Melissa as a nanny for us for around a month until our 15-month-old started daycare. By the time it was time for daycare to start, we almost instead asked Melissa to stay on as our full-time nanny because we loved her so much. The only reason we didn't is because we think the social aspects of daycare were beneficial for our son. Melissa is sweet, loving and truly cared about our baby. She was always going above and beyond to make our lives easier (organizing baby drawers, making sure the house was picked up - she even did our laundry once we we did not ask her to). She's amazing and we would highly recommend for your family.

We interviewed Melissa and chose her to be our nanny but ultimately i couldn't go back to work. She was amazing and we will be using her for babysitting and help along the way. She is extremely responsive and very sweet.

Melissa has the most wonderful skill set as a nanny. She revolutionized our home by caring for your girl. Our daughter is so sad we had to move to a different state. Melissa is such an amazing person with her beautiful smile that attracts kids to her. She knows how to talk to little people by kneeling down and looking them in the eyes. She understands the balance between letting kids learn new things but not get hurt. We love Melissa and our girl still talking about her. 
Any family would be absolutely honored to have her a part of it. 
Her absolutely devotion, punctuality and love for kids will bring a smile to any child's and family's face. If I could give more starts I would. We miss you Melissa!
