I've known her since last summer.  She's lovely - really warm, helpful, polite and she has a nice personality. She's completely trustworthy and energetic too.  She's excellent with my daughter, both in the daytime and in the evening.  I've very comfortable with her.  She's very engaged with my daughter.

Melissa worked for me last year looking after my two children who were 7 and 9.  I interviewed a lot of people for a nanny and found Melissa to be really warm.  As soon as she arrived, she was straight on the floor, engagaging with the children.  She was very affectionate and looking after the children's best interests.  She was a very maternal figure in my absence, which is what I wanted.  She would always keep in touch about everything, even a grave on the knee.  She always double-checked everyting.  I very much recommend her - I have done so for other things and other parents.
