Mel was very understanding towards my situation. She took great care of my son who always had a smile on his face, my son developed well while in the care of Mel from when he was 3 months old which to me proved that she had great interaction with the kids. Mel managed very well looking after a baby that naturally demands attention and other children. She always took the children out for toddler groups allowing social skills to develop well. I would definitely recommend her no matter what age your child is.
