Merlyssa has the warmest personality with all ages, especially the youngest littles. She greets and interacts with our kids as if they are her best friends. She makes everyone feel so welcome, offers fun facts that we adults got a kick out of, and gifts her "treasures" from the sea. She is FIN-NOMINAL!
