I am a friendly and caring babysitter! I find I get a long very well with kids. I am the oldest of 4 younger siblings so I feel i've always had a maternal instinct with kids. I received a certificate in child development in high school through a R.O.P program from there I went on and interned at Lake Forest Montessori preschool where I later got hired at as a preschool teachers assistant in Orange County. Later on parents from the preschool reached out to me to babysit for date nights or play dates over the weekend. Then from there I branched out and I've been a nanny for two families and now I do part time babysitting jobs. At the preschool I worked with various age groups from working in the infantry changing diapers, to helping second graders with multipication. I was also in charge of coordinating all the Read more creative projects for the kids, I really enjoyed working at the preschool and working my past babysitting jobs. As for my experiences I loved how in just a few hours you build this wonderful little relationship with these families and their children. I am a fulltime college student attending College of the canyons college in Valencia but I do have a flexible schedule. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me I am a open book. Thank you!

Mary was fantastic. I highly recommend. We needed her to pick my 9 month old son at 7am and take him to daycare and then to pick him up and bring him home from day care at 5:30. Then wait and hang out with my son till dad got home around 7pm. She did a awesome job, she showed up on time for everything, and was great with my son. He was all smiles when I got home and everything went like clockwork.

Mary was fantastic! She was easy to work with and sent us several updates while we were out. Our daughter really enjoyed having her around—would definitely recommend Mary to other families in the area!

We use Mary on an occasional basis and she is great with my 3-year-old and 8-month-old. She cleans up after the kids and is very attentive to the boys' needs. Will continue to use her!
