I am a professional In Home Day Care Provider and have been in business for 38 years now. I very much enjoy all of my kids I do believe they are the funniest lil' characters in the world. They bring so much joy every day just being their little selves, we have the best time and every day is a new adventure. We can learn a lot from our kids if we just pay attention they have a lot to say and I love listening to their stories with all that imagination. We are living in Tempe and really really loving our new neighborhood, we moved here on May 20th. of 2020. I'm excited to get back to work. I ran my own in home Day Care for 38 year's in Sunland CA. But due to covid-19 just about everyone I know lost their clients including me, and my clients either had voluntary furlough, or knocked down to 3 days a week for their job and working from home.We weren't going to move here until July but I thought, well we may as well go early and establish ourselves in our new home, we couldn't be happier now. I have been a Day Care Provider for years and I absolutely love my work, all of it makes me very happy. So hopefully, everyone will be able to get back to their life and careers very soon, I am super happy about getting back into our normal daily life. If you should need Day Care even if it's just part time that you need Please let me know and I will be oh so grateful to help. I also provide all meals and all the arts and crafts, birthdays and Holiday fun stuff that we do,I will be opening as of August 3rd., I am CPR trained and Live Scanned, I am not Licensed,but I will only be taking 5 kids and here in Arizona you dont need a License unless you take in more.I will also do a back ground check no problem, please feel free to do this.I can also give quite a few references if you need I'm happy to give you..Thank You for taking the time to read my profile, hope to hear from you soon.. Take care.. Stay safe and stay happy.. Miss. Melody

Melody is such a loving and caring individual, and took great care of our 3-year old. We feel so lucky to have had her while we could. We had a previous bad experience with a different daycare, and coming to Melody's daycare was like night and day. Our daughter had so much fun there. She learned a lot, and they did so many terrific arts and crafts that she took home and was proud of, and also they worked on preschool skills like letters and the whole alphabet! She did something creative every day. Melody took the kids on walks and to the park, and they always got to play outside every day as well. She has a very structured schedule for the day, and our daughter really thrived there. Melody's daughter also was a huge help and our little girl looked up to her like a big sister. We miss Melody a lot since she moved to Arizona! Any parents will be lucky to find her because she will care for your child like her own. Thank you Melody!

Miss.Melody is hands down the absolute best. My son hunter spent 3 years with her and I am amazed at how much he advanced and developed. Miss.Melody treatS all her kids as if they were her own, she is loving caring compassionate and understanding. She is amazing at redirecting negative behavior, and really creates a family like environment. While my son was there he learned all his letters numbers shapes and colors and started learning how to write his letters. He is ready for kindergarten! Miss. Melody also provides amazing healthy meals and a very clean environment! Everyday my son would come home with a project they did in the day and was so proud of his work! She builds confidence, self esteem, and integrity in her children. We are so sad she left us but are so excited for her new life which will really be great for her daughter! I knew my child was safe and well cared for at all times when with Miss.Melody, it was a blessing to be able to goto work and not have to worry! She is very easy to work with and extremely understanding! I recommend Miss.Melody for any childcare need you may have! She is the best and we are for ever grateful for the care she gave our son! Miss.Melody also helped me develop into a great mom with my son being my first! She was always there to support me and guide me in what would be best for my son and I appreciate that as well! Thank you Melody we love you and miss you so much!
