Most recent review
Melody has been caring for our almost 8-month-old son for the past ~3 months, and we couldn’t be happier. She is reliable, trustworthy, thoughtful, and an excellent communicator. I feel confident leaving my son in her care. Melody is respectful and accommodating of parenting decisions (e.g., napping location and feeding preferences). She is knowledgeable about and experienced in all aspects of caregiving, including early childhood development, nutrition, and engaging activities. My son especially enjoys the music she incorporates into her care, which makes their time together fun and enriching. I highly recommend Melody to any family looking for a loving yet professional caregiver.
