Retired grandma type, oldest daughter of 12 children (2nd child), former au pair in France and Montessori substitute teacher. I have spent the past 10 years supporting families by providing reliable, high-quality care. I love to sing, go for walks to talk about the clouds and flowers (or snow), and practice patience and creativity. I have a graduate degree in education, which informs my approach. I can assist with some meal prep and perhaps laundry during naps. I maintain First Aid Training and CPR certification to ensure a safe environment. I will follow your lead regarding household rules and provide updates via text and photos during the day or verbal check-ins at pickup. I am also comfortable around pets (no large snakes, please!). I look forward to bringing my calm, imaginative energy into your home to help your little ones thrive. I don't smoke or drink alcohol, and I have a reliable car. Let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your child.
Mary-Ann cared for my baby for over a year, from the time he was a few months old until he went to daycare. I work from home so I was able to see how well she cared for him. All day, she talked and sang and cared for him, taking care of all his needs and even holding him while he napped, because that was the only way he would sleep! I appreciated having an experienced caregiver that was mindful of his development and enrichment, as well as endlessly patient and always smiling. It was clear how much she loves children, and it felt like having family take care of my son. Very grateful for Mary-Anna!
