Meet Mary

• Comfortable with pets

Hello! My name is Mary, and I am seeking part time childcare positions that would be under 20 hours a week. I have provided childcare for children from 6 weeks old to 5 years old, and have also worked in summer camps for children from 6-10. I also have a BA in Human Development and Social Relations, which involved the interactions of individuals and communities and provided me with insight into the importance of childhood development. My childcare philosophy draws from the idea of meeting the child where they're at and giving the time and space to meet those needs. I've primarily worked with toddlers and infants, and I am continually amazed by their curiosity, compassion, intelligence, and energetic awareness! I believe in treating children with respect, honoring their innate wisdom, and doing my own internal work so that I can be the most compassionate and loving caregiver possible. I’m Read more a big believer in natural and unassisted motor development, supporting independent play, teaching consent early, giving children the space to figure things out on their own (you won’t see me demonstrating how to use a toy!), involving even young children in daily tasks around the house such as cooking and cleaning, and holding supportive emotional containers for big toddler emotions. I find that working with kids is an incredibly rewarding and wonderful experience - to be involved in the enhancement of their knowledge and skill development, and to just be renewed by kids' awe in the everyday world. Thank you for reading a bit about me and I hope to be working with you!
