My name is Mellissa and I am 18 years old. I’ve been babysitting, doing housework and cooking for kids for 6 years. Something special about caregiving is how much it teaches you and shapes you. Though I am 18, I feel like I’ve absorbed and learned from everything around me. I turn everything into a life lesson and I get to be a better person. Being around kids has taught me, self control, gentleness (especially tone), compassion, and simply patience (you know this). I am sure there is more to learn but for now, to do this job, these will surely carry me through. Of course I love babysitting, yes. But sometimes I find it’s the parents who could either use a break or feel comfortable knowing that there is a trustworthy person around their child. I am that trustworthy person, and I will make sure your child gets everything they need. With your assistance in how I should babysit them, I would love to be your babysitter. Thank you. Mellissa.

I babysit at home every week, as well as family friends overnight. I’ve handled 3 children at a time. I prepared meals, showered them, helped them with homework and put them to bed.
