My name is Marcy, and I find caring for children to be the best kind of work, as you laugh and hear creative stories and get to be around joyful little people! I earned my BA in Early Childhood Education/British Literature at Hunter College, and was a classroom teacher for 9 years before having my own child. I have been working for private families since. I am a lifetime New Yorker who loves to explore the various foods, art, and traditions from around the world that New york gives us access to! I have experience with children with various learning differences, health issues, and multiples, and I approach every child as an individual with unique qualities and their own personal styles. I like to use books and drawing to help children express themselves and explore ideas. I think hands on experiences and learning by engaged discovery are the best ways Read more to encourage lifetime learners. I believe that children are inherently smart, and that they just don't always have the vocabulary to express all that they know. By being patient and listening, I seek to help them navigate and build on all the information they are exposed to. I enjoy cooking and providing early kitchen experiences as a ways of teaching math and science concepts. I am also happy to be around friendly pets. Safety is always my first priority when caring for children, and I believe modeling appropriate behavior and positive reinforcement are the best ways to encourage a child towards their healthy development and self esteem.
