Hi families! I’m Melody, a dedicated childcare professional with 14 years of hands-on experience caring for children from infancy through age 13. Throughout my career, I’ve worked in daycare programs, early childhood centers, before and after school care, and YMCA summer camps, including supporting children with special needs. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and am CPR and First Aid certified. Creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment for children is something I genuinely love. I enjoy helping children learn, grow, build confidence, and reach new milestones while providing families with dependable and compassionate care. Working with children has always felt natural to me, and I’m excited for the opportunity to become a positive and supportive part of a family’s daily life. I look forward to connecting with you!
