"Melody has been the best nanny to our son, Cameron. From day one her calm energy and kind demeanor had Cameron gravitate towards her and created a warm and welcoming environment for them to bond. Melody was nannying 2-3 days a week for us until Cameron started Pre-School at 2 years old. We still utilize Melody for date nights etc., she is also fantastic with our 2 large dogs! Melody always had activities planned out, especially around the holidays to do art projects with Cameron, work on his coloring, flashcards, block building, etc. Melody has always been very flexible and communicative when she had questions and would ask to make sure that as the parents she knew our preferences and what we typically do. I believe that because she is a mother herself, it makes her that much more aware and strong as a nanny. She has become family to us and Cameron and we are beyond thankful to have her in our lives. I highly recommend Melody to anyone in need of a nanny or sitter, she is the best!"
