Hello! My name is Melody. I earned a bachelors degree from Rhodes college in 2012 & have since earned several certifications in several reading and childcare programs. I’m CPR & First Aid certified as well. I have over 10 years experience as a nanny, preschool teacher, private tutor, camp counselor, soccer coach, & paraprofessional! I am also a proud mom to the sweetest 3 yr old boy around! My experience is with children of all ages & along a vast spectrum of abilities & energy levels, most with autism or ADHD. I enjoy getting to know each child & love letting children teach me about the activities they enjoy. By doing so I'm able to help them foster their passions. I am a huge advocate of growth mindset teachings and subscribe to Big Life Journal! My favorite childcare activities are reading, music fun, baking, outdoor water play, crafting, & pretend Read more play. My favorite kids places are the Children’s Museum, Zoo, Art Project, Main Event, playgrounds, & Jumping Jellybeans! If you have any questions, I would love the chance to see if we are a good fit for each other!
