I can’t say enough good things about Mel. She worked with my two autistic boys and my baby girl, and honestly, she was such a blessing to our family. From day one, she approached my boys with so much patience, understanding, and kindness—she really got them, and that’s not always easy. She took the time to figure out what worked for them and made sure they felt comfortable, safe, and loved. At the same time, she was so gentle and caring with my little girl, giving her all the snuggles and attention she needed. I honestly don’t know how she managed to balance it all—keeping my boys engaged while caring for an infant—but she did it beautifully. And she always did it with a smile, tons of energy, and even a little humor when things got chaotic (because let’s be honest, things can get chaotic!). Mel became so much more than just someone helping us—she felt like part of our family. I’m so grateful for the love, care, and joy she brought into our home. If you’re looking for someone who truly cares deeply and brings both skill and heart to what they do, she’s the one. I can’t recommend her enough.
