Melvina has recently started looking after my three boys aged 8-11 one afternoon/evening a week. She picks up from school. She is very competent, calm and fun for the boys to be with. She is happy to be in charge of the boys, but also happy to follow my lead if there is something I want to do with them. My boys have some additional needs but mealtimes when Melvina has been there have definitely gone more smoothly than usual. I am only sorry she can't stay with us for longer...
