A little bit about me

I bring over 20 years of childcare experience, most recently as a Montessori classroom guide and administrator. As a mom of four (ages 3, 5, 7, and 9), I understand the real-life rhythms of family life and meet children with patience, respect, and genuine care. My specialty is infants and toddlers, and I’m trained in respectful caregiving approaches inspired by Janet Lansbury, Positive Discipline, and Montessori principles. I hold an associate degree in Early Childhood Education, am CPR/First Aid and SIDS certified, and have a current NC DHHS DCDEE qualifying letter. I’m especially skilled in toilet learning, supporting big feelings, and seeing behavior as communication. I love creating calm, nurturing spaces where little ones can explore, grow, and feel truly seen.

A little bit about me

Hello!

My name is Mariana Ramírez. I am 22 years old. I am in school through the online program at Delaware State University. I am majoring in social work. I currently have one year left to graduate. I am married and have a little 4 month old that was born in May 2023.

I love working with children. Since I was young, I was always working with kids. This included working with them at home, church, or in outside activities. Since I started school 2 years ago, I haven’t worked with kids much since these past two years I went to live in Delaware. But since I am back in my home town I am now able to baby sit!

I prefer to babysit from home since I have my little one, but if needed on occasions I can always travel to your house and baby sit then.

I have 2 well behaved and trained German shepherds and a French bull dog. As mentioned they are well behaved and trained and would not be a problem to your little one. They sure protect my little one 100%!
