'Melissa cared for my son just before he turned 2.  Mel quickly gained our trust with her caring and attentive nature.  Mel is someone with high energy and a great sense of humour and fun.  She is a natural with children and I would highly recommend her services.' - Ciara

'Melissa worked as a nanny to our two children aged 4 and 1. During the time with us her responsibilities included managing the children over two days of the week and all activities related to the children i.e. cooking light meals and minor housework.

We were thrilled to have her and our children adored her. I most admire the interests she cultivated in the kids to enjoy their food and nature and spent all her time connecting with the children individually. She was able to balance the work and play aspect really well too.
We were disappointed when she had to leave and would love to have her back in future.'- Akshya

'Whilst it seems to have been brief and almost too short, I think Abbidoo has grown a lot from the experience.

Initially she found it hard being left alone in  a strange place which is a first for us and surprising given she is the youngest of 3. But your very caring and calm approach made it much easier..... particularly after I worked out she liked to be there early and not rushed.!! Thanks Melissa for the opportunity.  Our baby is much the better for it.' -Tom and family
