About Melody

Experience: 10 yrs

I have been offering child care services in Arkansas for the past 10+ years. As a skilled and experienced provider, my passion lies in nurturing the kindness and emotional development of each child. I value secure attachment and fostering curiosity. My calm and patient demeanor + my creativity and imagination allows me to offer a fun and connective experience. I love getting the kids outside and off of screens! I believe in open communication and maintaining a strong partnership with parents. I provide regular updates on your child's day and promptly address any concerns that may arise. I am confident in enforcing household rules to ensure a structured and consistent environment. My diverse range of skills and training include First Aid and CPR, as well as coursework in early child development at the UofA where I earned a bachelors in psychology and human development. I have cared for single families as well as small groups.

Melody was amazing! Immediately through the video interview I was assured that my child would be in the right hands and she delivered. She is reliable and communicates efficiently. Her gentle and calm approach puts children at ease. I would definitely hire her again.
