Hello All! My name is Mari, I just moved to Santa Cruz from Sebastopol, Sonoma county. I'm hoping to dig long lasting roots in this beautiful place and that starts with building up my nanny family community here as I did back home! I come with 5+ years of professional experience with ages 1-8. A little bit about the philosophies I practice, Montessori, Reggio Emilia and Waldorf are what I pull from. I let the child lead me in exploration and I just make sure they're safe and educate them on the world around them (if it's a teaching moment of course!) I come with multiple long lasting references that can attest to my level of commitment and overall love for the work that I do. As for my certifications & education: I am CPR/First Aid certified No bad kids course Read The Montessori Baby Nutrition course Children's & adolescent PSYCH Working towards Psychology degree (Cabrillo & UCSC) Course recommendations welcome! Thank you for your time, if you feel we align let's chat!
Mari was great with our son. She was kind, professional, and made him feel comfortable. He had a fun time with her.
