I am soooo happy I found Miss Melinda! My 6 year old has learning/developmental challenges, and I have had very little luck finding someone I feel comfortable with -    I recently moved across town, and needed to find a new sitter/occasional daycare.   My daughter loved her from the start.  Melinda is a former teacher and offers tutoring as well - something I plan to take advantage of in the future.The flexible hours are important for me,too.  At home my daughter talks happily about all the cool activities she's done, and asks when she can go back and see Miss Melinda again - I reckon that's the clearest review of all :)
