I have been babysitting, nannying, and pet-sitting for about 10 years now. I have experience caring for children ages 1 month - 15 years, with and without learning and behavioral disabilities such as speech delays, autism, and anxiety. Throughout middle school and high school, I would babysit a few days a week including weekends and regularly over the summer. While attending college, I babysat each month I returned home for breaks as well as regularly over the summer. After graduating from college I was working as a full-time teacher/residential aide at the New England Center for Children with adolescent boys who have severe Autism. I moved to Charleston in August and I currently teach 4th-6th grade at a Montessori school. I personally like to be as active as possible when babysitting, to not only keep the kids busy but to also maximize my time with them. I like to be Read more outside and do outdoor activities the most, but when inside I like to play games or do arts and crafts. Art is a personal outlet for me so I like to spread my love for it to children as I know they typically enjoy it as well. I can babysit up to three kids but I believe I can work best when babysitting 1-2.

Marie was fantastic. She made time to interview beforehand, showed up on time, asked good questions, and clearly knew what she was doing. She really set us at ease as we relied on someone outside our circle for a vacation sitter. Recommended!

Marie is so wonderful! We absolutely love her. She has positive energy, is organized, consistent, punctual, and always gets the job done. I needed mostly help around the home and she has helped make my life so much easier. I wish I could have her full time. She has a lovely presence and was beyond great help during my postpartum period.
