Hello my name is Melba I am a mother of 2, I have worked with a families providing different services including child care of all ages and senior care. I like to build a strong relationship and connection to my clients I am very invested in providing the most genuine care. During childcare assistance I provide help with meals, bedtime routines, school pick ups, chores around the home and being actively involved with the child during playtime. During Senior care my priority is to provide comfort and safety. Helping with medications, meals, self safe (bathing etc.. ) as well as errands or anything else the client may need me to assist with. I have taken care of cats and dogs, one of my regular clients has 8 cats that I watch and care for while she is away from home. I also have experience caring for dogs of all ages and sizes with pets. I am comfortable doing feeding, walking, clean up and oral medication. I am a very patient, determined, committed, punctual, kind and understanding employee. I prioritize building a comfortable and happy work relationship and environment for all my clients.
“Melba and her husband Jose have been working for us since 2015, cleaning first our condo and now our house. We trust them completely. When we leave town, we are comfortable leaving them our keys so they can look after and feed our cats. They are excellent pet-sitters, cats and dogs. When I leave town they aid my husband, who has Parkinson’s. They are responsible, hardworking, friendly, and reliable. I cannot stress enough how we appreciate their presence and the care and effort we receive from them.”

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
