Meet Melissa

I am quite a bit older than your typical Sitter City babysitter, at 47. With age comes experience: I have been babysitting since my teenage days. As the oldest of five children, I grew up tending to babies, and now I am enjoying being a doting aunt to my nine nieces and nephews (three of whom are pictured here with me). I am a former high school and college English, theatre and speech teacher who loves children. I am experienced with newborns through teenagers. I love playing imaginative games with active babies, toddlers and children. My rates are $12/hour for sleeping babies and children and $15/hour when they are awake. During the school year, I work full time during the day as a high school counselor, so I am available nights and weeknds only. However, during the summer months, I am available weekdays as well as weeekends.
