Melody is a wonderful, caring, and enthusiastic teacher. She planned such fun, educational experiences for our early education students that were age appropriate and hands on. She is an exceptional mother raising two children that came to our school. She is organized, understands the emotional, social, and cognitive age levels of children and can adapt activities to any age. I highly recommend Melody for any care-giving opportunity.
