My name is Mary G and I love caring for children and teaching them!  I also love making a difference in the lives of families.  I am the mature, very active semi-retired grandmother type.  I have raised three children (twin boys) and a daughter as a single mother and juggled many household and child rearing responsibilities while holding a full time job in Washington.  I am trustworthy, dependable, very patient, and understand how difficult it is to raise children today balancing family, home and career.  I try and provide a secure and loving environment for children.  I believe in structured activities such as playing games and doing art projects with plenty of time for outdoor exercise.  I love to read to children rather than turning on the television.  I am neat in the kitchen and prepare healthy meals. I try and do for parents what I would have liked done for me when I was a young mother by taking some Read more of the daily pressure off their shoulders by doing the children's laundry, straightening up the children's play area and room and helping with school work.

Mary has cared for my 7 month old son (and occasionally my 3 1/2 year old son) for over 5 months. What I love most about Mary is her kindness and the way that she treats my boys...with love. She gives them her undivided attention and creates a safe and fun environment for them. Mary has a ton of energy, is professional, very clean and kind. She will be an amazing nanny to whomever is lucky enough to have her!

Mary was a wonderful caring loving nanny for our 2 year old twins. She really worked with them on their speech since they were a bit language delayed and they improved a lot in her care. Mary was always on time, 110% reliable, and often brought library books or other fun things for the girls. She took them outside for walks and to the park as well. I cannot recommend Mary highly enough, she will be a wonderful addition to you family! We still have Mary babysit and the girls are always very excited to see Mary!
