Although I don’t have a variety of experience, I love children and always have. I used to babysit in my neighborhood for one family and I babysit for a year for a few hours everyday in the mornings while the parents worked remote. We always had a lot of fun, and it was great having such energy filled mornings to start my days. We would paint, have dance parties, we would go on bike rides in the subdivision where me and the kids would learn how to identify plants and by the end of it they knew a few plant names around the subdivision. Safety is always my main concern but also building trust with both the children and parents.

Hi families,I’m Melody! I’m a warm, calm, and patient childcare professional with over 5 years of experience working with children 6 weeks- 9years old. I truly enjoy getting to know each child as an individual and creating a caring, nurturing environment where they can feel comfortable, confident, and free to be themselves.Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Reggio, Waldorf, and Montessori-inspired teaching styles. I love bringing elements of these approaches into everyday activities, especially through art, creativity, and sensory play. I enjoy creating activities that allow children to explore, get curious, use their imagination, and learn through hands-on experiences.I’m CPR/AED and Anaphylaxis trained, and I’m also a non-smoker. The safety and well-being of the children I care for is always one of my top priorities.Outside of childcare, I love reading, yoga, cooking, going for walks, and visiting farmers markets on Sunday mornings. I enjoy a slower, intentional lifestyle and love sharing that sense of curiosity and appreciation for the little things with children. Most of all, I genuinely love working with children. It’s incredibly rewarding to watch them grow, discover new interests, and become more independent. I strive to be a dependable and nurturing presence for both the children and their families. I’m excited to get to know you more!
