Hello! My name is Mary, and I am seeking assignments with daytime hours ranging from 11am-6pm, with a strong preference for after school care. I also do date night sitting, with flexible hours, and I am available on short notice in many cases. I am the mother of 3 grown children, and 3 grandchildren, and have current CPR and first aid certifications. I have 2 granddaughters, ages 12 and 11, who currently live in Austin, whom I cared for frequently as newborns, and still care for from time to time. I genuinely love working with children! I am patient, trustworthy, and attentive, as well as reliable, I make every effort to be consistent in carrying out the parent's wishes regarding established routines and rules. My 30 year old son, who resides in Idaho, has autism, so I am also experienced with special needs, as well. I am a lifelong pet Read more owner, and I welcome working in a household with fur babies! Please feel free to read my testimonials that are posted in the ratings and review section. I'm quite proud of them! Thank you for your consideration! Sincerely, Mary

I was very skeptical about hiring someone whom I have never met before to be my daughter's babysitter. However, after one phone conversation, my husband and I decided to hire Mary. She has been taking care of our daughter for a month now and we are very happy and satisfied with her services. I highly recommend her and will continue to use her.

With 3 children under 4 years old, a husband with a very busy travel schedule, I desperately needed help wrangling the children, getting dinner ready, light laundry, etc. After interviewing Mary on the phone and then in person, we realized quickly that she would not only be very caring to our children but was also very attentive to their needs and our parenting styles. Almost from day 1, our children became very comfortable with Mary and learned from her daily including helping them with their manners. Mary also was first to ask for feedback from my husband and I on how she was doing, what she could improve on, etc. Sadly due to a change in my husband's work status, we had to let Mary go but I would recommend her to anyone especially those with younger children.

We have a very specific situation. We have a foster child, and not anyone can babysit at our house. You have to have FBI fingerprint background check, first aid, and CPR. Mary met all those requirements and was verified by our caseworker! She is really good with our foster daughter and very accommodating, even for last minute stuff. We highly reccommend her!

I contacted her on a Friday, and she met us on Friday night to sit for my kids on Saturday- super short notice and she was very accommodating! My kids had a great time with her and can't wait for her to sit for them again!
