I have been in childcare for many years and in many different settings, including daycares, private households as a full time nanny, and of course countless date-night/occasional families. I am CPR certified for infants and adults, and am currently in school for education. I love working with children because I enjoy watching their curious nature flourish and having my part in helping them learn and grow. I have experience with all ages, as well as experience with potty training, sleep training, etc. All of my different experience has helped me become the caregiver I am today, and I look forward to growing and learning even more.

With nearly a decade of nanny experience, I have dedicated my entire career to providing families and their children with the best childcare. I have cared for children ranging from 3 months to 11 years old, developing a deep understanding of the unique needs at every stage of childhood. What sets me apart is my genuine love for working with children. I love nurturing their young minds, giving them a safe space to explore their curiosity, and watching them grow into confident, caring individuals. In addition to hands- on childcare, I have extensive experience supporting families with household tasks such as children's laundry, light housework to help keep the house tidy, transportation, and meal preparation. If you're seeking an experienced nanny to join your family, I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Hi! My names Mary, I am a 20 year old graduate who has been babysitting since I was 11. I am a very energetic, happy, and caring caregiver. I have experience with babysitting as well as being a nanny, I can do both. I have one niece and one nephew who I have watched throughout the years, as well as many younger cousins. I am going to community college so I will be available even after summer. I enjoy doing activities with the children as well as taking them places. I can watch the kids either at my house or yours, whichever works better for you. I also have a 3 1/2 nephew that loves to play with other kids if you’re comfortable with him coming with me occasionally or bringing the kids back to my house to play and hang out! I have a pretty flexible schedule, and am always up to help. I do have another nannying job that varies week to week but on days I don’t have them am very happy to help any way I can. I have always loved children and am told I have a special way with them.
