Experience: 10 yrs
I have LOTS of childcare experience: baby-sitting in child's home, teaching at infant, child care & after school centers & tutoring elementary & middle school-aged children. I enjoy kids of all ages but especially love younger children. I like to go to playgrounds & the library, engage in fantasy play, make music/science/ art, dance, play games of all kind as well as legos, blocks, puzzles, etc. I'm happy to make snacks, start dinner & help with light housekeeping. I'm also happy to host another child or two for play-dates. I love to read stories to/with children (I work part-time in a children's library). I'm First Aid and CPR certified, have my own safe, insured car. My best friend, with who I taught a 4-9-year-old religious ed class says I'm the most playful person she knows! Want to know more? Give me a call - I'm set up on the Care. Chat site. Mary Lou
Mary Lou is a wonderful sitter who is responsible, safe, caring and uniquely talented with my children. Her passion for working with children is apparent in her every interaction. Mary Lou is a great for the grown ups too. She is a straight forward communicator and is wonderful to make arrangements with. She returns communication promptly and her kind heart shines through frequently. Two thumbs way up!
