A little bit about me
My name is Mary and I just relocated from DC as a full time nanny. I have been a nanny for over a year, and a babysitter for 4 years. I am a musician, and I love to sing for children - so if your children love Disney princesses - Tiana, Moana, Rapunzel you name it.. I can be that person for them. I also offer piano lessons for children! Though I wouldn't like to consider myself as fluent in Spanish, I do speak the language intermediately, and am a fluent speaker of ASL. Happy to offer lessons in ASL as well. A learning beginner of Arabic and Vietnamese.

"Mary was wonderful! My kids (age 2 and 5) warmed to her very quickly. She was kind but firm, full of energy and patience and knew just how to interact with my kids. She was safety conscious and I could see she was observant and attentive. She was on time and reliable and very professional in her communications with me. We all loved her!"

"Catherine is the daughter of one of my oldest friends. She needed a place to go during the day when her mom went back to work after Covid, so she drove down to our house to help me with our foster baby(ies) once a week.
She walks in and takes over! Changing diapers, feeding, holding, cuddling, playing music for them to enjoy ... without being asked.
She has a natural love for babies and though she did not have many opportunities in the past to connect with them, she has made up for lost time by loving on the babies in our home!
She is attentive and tender and finds great joy in caring for their needs.
We only had her fo a short time before summer, but I know we would have enjoyed a full year with her in our home and serving our babies!"

"As a parent, I have had the pleasure of witnessing Talia’s (Lia) remarkable qualities firsthand. Lia has been an invaluable part of our family, and I cannot speak highly enough of her dedication, compassion, and genuine love for children. Lia consistently demonstrates empathy and kindness towards our children. She is attuned to their emotional needs and ensures they feel safe and secure.
Our kids eagerly await her arrival because they know it’s time for adventure and play. Whether it’s imaginative games, outdoor activities, or creative crafts, Lia infuses joy and excitement into their days.
Her affectionate nature is evident in the way she interacts with the children. She reads bedtime stories, cuddles them when they’re upset, and provides a nurturing environment. It’s as if she has a magical connection with infants. Babies respond positively to her soothing presence.
Lia is reliable, punctual, respects our family values and consistently goes above and beyond."
