I am a young, vibrant woman looking to work with a loving family.  I enjoy crafts, trips to the park or beach, catch in the yard and any child with a strong imagination.  I am a recent college graduate with a degree in English and plan on working for a Masters in Social Work.  I am aware of how significant childhood is for development of healthy adults and how difficult it can be to choose someone to trust with your children.  I would be honored to be a part of you and your children's lives.  I've worked with children in all age ranges from infancy through early teenage years. I feel comfortable providing care for as many as 3 children at a time and do have experience with up to four. I look for families that have active, aware parents looking for an extra pair of hands (and eyes!) with Read more children who are adventurous and interested in learning. I have experience as a tutor as well as a nanny. I believe strongly in talking respectfully through difficulty and anger, laying out boundaries from the beginning to allow conflict to arise and be resolved peacefully.  I would love an opportunity to discuss what you are looking for and my own experience.  Good luck in looking for the right care provider for your family!

Mary is excellent. I feel completely at ease leaving our young son in her care. She handles a teething, finicky child with grace and with a smile. On top of her fantastic qualifications as a babysitter she is also patient, punctual and fun. I am very excited we found her on SitterCity.

I appreciated that Mary showed up early, as I had expressed my need to leave right on time. She immediately engaged my daughter and took care of her needs, even while I was still in the room, which really helped my daughter transition, and helped me get out of the house. I came home to happily worn out kids, and Mary was very gracious when I was running late. I'll certainly use her again.

Mary showed up on time and took great care of my 2.5 yr old. She is very professional. We will hire Mary again.
