About Rose-marie

My name is Rose-Marie. I am a full-time college student at UMD, a part-time baker, and a 24/7 child and animal lover. I have been babysitting/tutoring within my family and community since I was 14 years old. Big sister to five younger siblings and auntie to my older sister's 3-year-old, I am no stranger to childcare. When I babysit I aim to appeal to all five of my kiddies' senses. We cook together, color, read, write, problem-solve, play, and more. I even was able to teach my baby sister over 20 signs by the time she hit a year so she could communicate with us whilst learning to speak. Most people who know me would describe me as attentive, creative, thoughtful, and caring. While I can be stern I find that need to be so is rare because I try to build mutual respect with each child in my care from the moment we meet. In the words of Dr. Suess, "A person's a person no matter how small."
